The original post didnt mention anything about pollution which is proberbly why the maths discussion started.

As for my "Excllant" spelling I apologise. Spelling is not my strong point. :( and I wasnt ragging on Aces when I asked him what he ment by "spear", I actually googled it incase it was an american spelling of sphere...

Interesting no doubt. When I first saw the thread's title I pictured the sphere being a lot bigger than that. It makes me wonder how big of a sphere/compressed to sea level pressure bubble, the Earth's atmosphere would make.

All in all just glad to see that you DON'T have me on ignore! Speaks Volumes! Pun intended! ;)

Does that take into account the water suspended in the atmosphere?

In a free market economy the "fair" distribution of a scarce resource is determined by market forces and who has the wherewithal to pay the most.

In that case it should be over China, they still pay "cash" for things. :cool:

Actually you are kind of correct. its Asia first followed by North America second.

Australia last, as you would expect when the majority of the continent is as dry as a dead dingos donger.
