Rainforests store 250 tons carbon/hectare
The Amazon is 550,000,000 hectares in area
The Amazon has 137 gigatons of C total
Since 1850, humans have released around 1500 gigatons.
In particular, recently from 2000 to 2015, around 500 gigatons have been released by human activity.
Around 2700 gigatons remain in the ground.
All of these statements are just random numbers I found off the Internet, so take them with a gigaton of sodium.
