Human Dominance Soars While Wild Biomass and Movement Decline. Really!

So what is the point of these two new studies? Biomass hysteria and alarmism? Exercises in futility?

In 1850, world human population was around 1.2 billion. In 2025, it is about 8.2 billion. So what! The population of China and Japan are already shrinking, while the population of India, Africa and Europe will follow soon.

Human Dominance Soars While Wild Biomass and Movement Decline - www.caltech.edu "Two new studies quantify key features of human and animal presence on Earth.

The first study finds that the movement of human biomass today is 40 times greater than that of all wild land mammals, birds, and arthropods combined. Another study reveals that the combined biomass of wild land and marine mammals has plummeted by about 70 percent since 1850, whereas the biomass of humans has soared by roughly 700 percent and that of domesticated animals by 400 percent; those two categories have a combined biomass approaching about 1.1 billion tons."
