Here is a great WWF print ad focusing on the continuing destruction of the rain forest.

“15km of rain forest disappears every minute”
Don’t believe everything you read. Use common sense. I mean c’mon – 15 km²/ min!
Ok, let’s do some calculations, shall we…
How much that will be in a year?
M’kay, so it is 15 km² * 60(min) * 24(hour) * 365(day) = 7884000 km² of forest disappearing every year. O’RLY?
Let’s suppose that all land area of earth is covered with forest – every single km² is nothing but forest. Ok, we all know that it’s far from thuth (think about big deserts like sahara, or places like antarctica or greenland, so the forest covered are is FAR LESS than total land area of earth) but just to make calculation a bit easier, let’s suppose that earth is forest all over.
Earth’s surface area (land): 148,940,000 km² (source http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth).
Now the question is: How long it will take(in years) for all forests and trees to disappear?
Well it takes of course (148,940,000 km² / 7884000 km²) years. How much is that then?
Answer : Little less than 19 Years (18.89 years to be precise).
Real number is way less than that , maybe just 11 years (because all is not forest).
Most important question is: So how come we still have any forest at all ????
Answer: We do, because forest does not disappear at that rate (15km²/min)
dude, you forget to count the forest growth rate.. LOL
