in contemporary violence is an artifact of scaling factors.
This shows an
apparent decreasing SL over the 18thC, shifting
in the early 19thC to a long - term
rate of rise of 1.7 to 2.0 mm / year since then.
While environmentalists are no doubt welcoming of the
apparent decrease, some are awaiting all deforestation data to be consolidated
in early 2012 which will better reflect the clearing
rate than the current month - by - month figures assessed by PRODES.
