I have no idea how big an acre or a hectare is, I have no idea who the people the article is referring to are. I see 0 mentions of the effects this will have on global climate. All hallmarks of a US centric article. This is not world news and it clearly caters to American interests.

Rule 1 literally states “no internal US news”. This is internal US news. Not world news.
