"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.

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%

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.
