Elementary Math

1. Oceans Rise

If all the Ice at the South pole melted, the Oceans would rise up to 400 feet. Antarctica exposed land mass has 5% of surface area of the Earth. The ice averages 1 mile thick. The Oceans cover 66% of the Earth. 5280 feet per mile. Therefore : 5280 *0.05 = Y *0.66 Ocean rise Y = 400 feet


2. Suicide

An average of 123 people kill themselves with suicide every single day in the USA.  That equals almost 45,000 deaths a years due to suicide in the USA.  This is almost as many people today as U.S. soldiers that were killed in the entire duration of the Vietnam War.

"123 a day in the U.S.A."


3. Dietary Fiber

"One gram of fiber for every one hundred calories" is a basic rule of health.

If you are supposed to eat 30 grams of fiber every day, and you are supposed to eat 2,500 calories every day, then you will ideally eat 1.2 grams of fiber for every one hundred calories.

If you simplify that to 1.0 grams of fiber for every one hundred calories and ONLY eat food (or drink liquids) that meet that criterion, then you will be close to optimum nutrition.  All the other nutritional factors will "sort themselves out"  Your diet will be predominantly plant food, since animal food products have no fiber.  Plant food has all the other vitamins, minerals and other nutrients (even protein).


4. Carbon Dioxide

Every gallon of gas you burn puts 19.2 pounds of Carbon Dioxide gas into the atmosphere.
Every mile you drive puts one pound of Carbon Dioxide into the atmosphere.

A gallon of gasoline weight about 6.7 pounds and is almost entirely pure Carbon in liquid form.
The burning process removes twelve pounds of Oxygen from the atmosphere and replaces it with 19.2 pounds of Carbon Dioxide.   I know the numbers don't quite add up, but that is the data.  Go on the internet and check the math yourself.

If the average car gets about nineteen or twenty miles to the gallon, then every mile you drive puts about on pound of Carbon Dioxide into the atmosphere.  And THAT is a lot of gas.
