Just how much is all this worth?
This planet of ours. This Earth?
In 1997, our global ecosystems were valued at just $33 trillion dollars annually.
give or take $17 trillion dollars.
At the same time, people globally were pumping out somewhere around $18 trillion,
or maybe $28 trillion,
or was it $31 trillion, as according to the WHO?
Later, in 2011, people profit was thought to be around $75 trillion,
while the planet was producing $125 trillion in benefits to people.
That number while shifting through time
decreases as environments are degraded by those activities
that push those profits ever higher.
How high can they get
lest we forget that our future is tied to this planet?
In 2024, nominal GDP was just $111 trillion.
Our population is nearly 8.3 billion.
There are so many reasons to value our planet,
Earth,
and to pay attention to This Week in Science!
