Ok the article says tons plural. Let's assume it's 2 tons every 8 minutes. Currently 1 day contains 1440 minutes. So that's at minumum 360 tons a day. Multiply 360 by 365 you get 131,400 tons per year. Multiply 131,400 by 4.6 billion and that's how many tons I'm talking about. At minimum that we know about and we don't know anything.
