percentage of land on earth is dominated by humans

Some useful info to digest over Sunday dinner

29% of Earth is land mass. Of that 29% humans occupy less than 1% of that area. Of the remaining 28% about 40% is pure wilderness. 14% is true desert and 15% has desert like characteristics. 9% is Antarctica. Most of the remaining 22% are agricultural areas. There may be other areas with a human footprint of some kind but it is insignificant in any relation to global warming.


What percentage of the earth is land?
By the most common criteria used (which includes swamps and seasonal dry land), the Earth has a land surface of 144,940,000 km2, which is about 29.2% of the total surface area of the planet.

How much space do cities take up of inhabited land of earth;

Urban areas (1.5%) (148,940,000 km2 land) =2,234,100 km2 Urban areas -------------------- Earth Surface area 510,072,000 km2
148,940,000 km2 land (29.2 %)
361,132,000 km2 water (70.8 % http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth ------------- Land use Percentage
Arable land 13.13%
Permanent crops 4.71%
Permanent pastures 26%
Forests and woodland 32%
Urban areas 1.5%

What percentage of the earth's land has a temperature climate;
Ice covers 3%, earth covers 70%, therefore 27% of the earth's land has a temperature climate.

the deepest part of the earth's oceans is;

The Mariana Trench is the deepest part of the world's oceans, and the lowest elevation of the surface of the Earth's crust. It is located in the western Pacific Ocean to the east of the Mariana Islands, near Japan. It reaches a maximum known depth of about 11.03 kilometres (6.85 mi)

Projections of population growth over the next 50 years;

According to current projections of population growth, the world population of humans will continue to grow until at least 2050, with the estimated population, based on current growth trends, to reach 9 billion in 2040,[1][2] and some predictions putting the population in 2050 as high as 11 billion.[3] World population passed the 7 billion mark on October 31, 2011.[1] According to the United Nations' World Population Prospects report, [4] the world population is currently growing by approximately 74 million people per year. Current United Nations predictions estimate that the world population will reach 9.0 billion around 2050, assuming a decrease in average fertility rate from 2.5 down to 2.0.[5][6] Almost all growth will take place in the less developed regions, where today's 5.3 billion population of underdeveloped countries is expected to increase to 7.8 billion in 2050. By contrast, the population of the more developed regions will remain mostly unchanged, at 1.2 billion. An exception is the United States population, which is expected to increase 44% from 305 million in 2008 to 439 million in 2050.[7] In 2000–2005, the average world fertility was 2.65 children per woman, about half the level in 1950–1955 (5 children per woman). In the medium variant, global fertility is projected to decline further to 2.05 children per woman.

If the worlds population was condensed into one spot it would fit in;
The Grand Canyon-


Many times over; the volume of the Grand Canyon is 5.45 trillion cubic yards, more or less. (Figure acquired off the internet and probably reasonably accurate.)

The volume of the average person is less than one cubic yard. Maybe even 1/3 cubic yard. So you could fit between 1000 and 3000 times the current population of the Earth into the Grand Canyon.

But let's get a bit fancier here. The average depth of the GC is one mile. Average width is 10 miles.

Unless I've screwed up the math, there are 5,451,776,000 cubic yards in a cubic mile. So you could cram all 8 billion people in the world in a section of the Grand Canyon less than 1/10 mile long. Probably a lot less if you allow for squishage.

Exactly why the notion of overpopulation, and the pressure - on several levels - to thwart that 'overpopulation' [threat], is a[nother] fluke..

Agreed. I read somewhere (don't know if it true) that the entire population could fit in Australia and we'd all have an acre of land...

Wowzers, awesome work Strobez, i salute you. I've not had the time to check your info but some of it ties into my own findings. The Earth is overpopulated ? What utter BS, i've never ONCE for a millisecond bought that one, man made global warming and climate change initially i was curious but that too is also ... Basically the agenda wants people narrowed in, worried about their life, worried about OTHER PEOPLE, terrorism also ties into this, that everyone is potentially BAD and so you have to look at them suspiciously FIRST, love and anything noble has to take a back seat, that is of no use. I mean the amount of clean sustainable organic food we could grow on Earth is utterly ludicrous, i KNOW this being a back garden organic farmer, the amount of food i grow on a small piece of land is ridiculous. So if i was 'expert', had more equipment, knowledge, resources and tools, my god, food abundance for all time anyone ? The globalists want humans to hate themselves, to 'live' their lives in a bubble of fear and confusion.

''Agreed. I read somewhere (don't know if it true) that the entire population could fit in Australia and we'd all have an acre of land...''
- That was in the Zeitgeist movie mate. I believe this is accurate.

Thanks doc, yeah as you say mate its all media controlled deception, there are some videos on here about what can be grown on a small piece of land, great vids, I've seen um before but really glad someone posted them again, of course the tptb don't want the masses to see this for fear of losing control, I think many now know food and water is now the major control element for the government and against of the people.

Good post. Interesting to say the least

Excellent post, this is something I have always known and this confirms it right here.

once you look at the data, you begin to notice that alot of things (global warming by man, over population, running out of land, running out of food, running out of water etc.. etc....) that it is all pretty hard to believe after reading this.

Also I remember seeing some data, or hearing about it (don't remember) but the garbage that humans collected at this current time, could fit in a landfill 1 mile cubed... so littering may be an issue, but we are definitely not the toxic sludge world everyone thinks we are (except when it comes to dumping illegally)

The effect that man has on this planet is so small, but yet our huge egos lead us to believe that everything evolves around us, and our tiny insignificant contributions(?) would never effect the planet as a whole (unless something was specifically designed to alter the current planetary model)

this if anything should put some fears to rest with people.
