"To put this into perspective, a cubic kilometer is one trillion
liters (approximately 264 billion gallons of water), about a quarter
more than Los Angeles uses in one year. "
This is not perspective, this is brainless number-flaunting.
PERSPECTIVE would be telling how much sea level rise
is caused by a cubic kilometer of ice. The number is easy
to calculate but the press release writers did not seem to want
their readers to have it.
