| reply to Bozono Re: km2 for each person on earth?
Not completely sure of my land size figures - but best I could figure out from »apps.fao.org/faostat/form?collec···guage=EN is that there's about 17,110,936 square miles available for habitation. The rest is tied up for agriculture, pasture and is otherwise uninhabitable? That works out to something like 368 people per square mile. Which doesn't quite seem right to me. But...
But there is a broad range of population densities. One source I found shows that the U.S. has about 38-47 people per square kilometer, while Japan has 1,605 people per square kilometer of 'habitable' land!! Mountains and agricultural land sure puts a crunch on you!
