Breathing Earth

I found this one incredibly interesting!

Breathing earth shows birth and death rates and the amount of gas emmisions each country puts into the atmosphere. It shows you everything in real time. Since I have started writing this blog, in the world, 500 people have been born, 200 people have died, and 90,000 tonnes of Co2 have been emitted.

Did you know in Australia, 1000 tonnes of Co2 are emitted every 1 minute, 30 seconds? Somebody dies every 3 minutes and 24 seconds, and somebody is born every 2 minutes and 6 seconds!

That's real food for thought: Breathing Earth
