minus-square@NegativeInflinkEnglish-4•9 months agoFor anyone wondering the difference between 370 million tonnes and 37.5 billion tonnes, it’s about 37.5 billion tonnes.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish13•9 months ago370 million is 0.37 billion, so the difference is about 37.13 billion. 370 million tons of carbon from a single source is a considerable amount.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish9•9 months ago370 million is just under 1% of 37.5 billion. It’s obviously far from the majority but I can see it being something that should be addressed.
minus-square@NegativeInflinkEnglish2•9 months agoOh, agreed. I just think there are better metrics we can point at other than carbon release for why bottom trawling is a terrible thing for the environment.

Gotcha. That makes total sense.
37.1 billion, but yeah
