Uh, you do realize that giga = 10^9 = billion?
So 2 is 1/45 of 90. Small enough, no argument, though hardly deserving “insignificant, tiny fraction” rethoric.
But why mix up “billion” and “giga” numbers as if they were somehow different? That part makes no sense at all.

What are you talking about- first- it was the president of Guyana who told the reporter who attempted to shame him for exploring for oil and gas that their forests are capable of absorbing 90 gigatons of CO2- whereas their country only produces 2 billion tons of CO2- so they are net neutral in regards to atmospheric CO2 already- and there is plenty more absorbing ability of the forests should their CO2 demands increase-
and yes, it is insignificant compared to 90 gigatons- and far more insignificant compared to the CO2 traps around the globe- There is far more than enough natural processes and CO2 traps to take care of the piddly amount we produce worldwide-
