MarkIX Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I heard Stefan of the Peter Schiff Show mention when talking to someone claiming that humans were "burdensome" that the entire population would fit into the state of Texas, with a couple of acres. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas Area = 696 241 km2 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_population Population = 7.142 billion at 247 odd acres per km2, = 171971527 acres 171971527 / 7142000000 = ~0.024 acres or ~97 m2 is my maths correct?

WorBlux Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Nope, I've heard it if you stuff evenyone in the U,S into texas you can give each about half of an acre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bastii Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 97 m^2 is correct, although I highly doubt that this number is useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkIX Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share Posted February 8, 2014 The people at Grow Biointensive used to claim that you could survive on <70 m^2 if done right, I don't know if they still do. But that is neither here nor there, I was just wondering if I got the math right. It seems I did and the anecdote is in error. I seem to recall someone if not Stefan has used that anecdote before I didn't check it then, but I did now because I wanted that woman to be properly wrong, "Burdensome" she called humanity, to who or what I'm not sure, But if it's to her then there are still plenty of places she can go that aren't infested with the the rest of us vermin. They don't have ISP's or plumbers so I guess that's why she is gallantly putting up with the "burdensome" nature of her fellow humans ....Sigh.
