So a 1.1% decline does not contribute to a 1.8% decline for metrics that according to basic logic has a direct relationship?
1.1% in four years does not account for a 1.8% per year. To put them in the same units, 0.275% per year accounts for only 15% of the decline. So, it yes "contributes", but it only contributes 15%.
Moreover, according to the state in said area the decline of both people and businesses was a lot higher than 1.1% annually.
I gave a link. Go argue with them, not me.
Less people means less emissions, you want zero emission, eliminate all people.
Now you're just trolling.
