"Animals: A Drop in the Biomass Ocean

Although animals make up only 0.47% of all biomass, there are many sub-categories within them that are worth exploring further.

Taxon	Mass (Gt C)	% of Animal Biomass
Animals (Total)	2.589	100.0%
Arthropods (Marine)	1.0	38.6%
Fish	0.7	27.0%
Arthropods (Terrestrial)	0.2	7.7%
Annelids	0.2	7.7%
Mollusks	0.2	7.7%
Livestock	0.1	3.9%
Cnidarians	0.1	3.9%
Humans	0.06	2.3%
Nematodes	0.02	0.8%
Wild mammals	0.007	0.3%
Wild birds	0.002	0.1%

Our planet supports nearly 8.7 million species. We break down the total composition of the living world in terms of its biomass.

My unpopular opinion is that we need to use the dark arts of spin doctoring to change people’s behaviour. I do care about the ethics of it but I think the badness of spin is less than the badness of climate change. It needs to be a war of information against activities that result in climate change.
