Interesting find.

yes, I found it fascinating, interesting, but there is something horrendous in watching some of the tallies go up so fast........

That is your Malthusian side screaming in terror.

Staring at a category can be a bit mesmerizing.

^ like counting sheep, maybe it would help me sleep

[Opsa]

Yeek! It wouldn't help me sleep. Between the Co2 levels and the death/disease levels, it was really scary!

The days left of coal and oil were eye-opening.

i wonder how they arrived  at the figure for the money spent on illegal drugs. i just hope those dealers' tax returns are completely accurate.
but yes- a fascinating and indeed often quite alarming site.

I wondered that also--- and about other values that are not routinely collected.

I suspect someone is guessing here...

Several of the metrics would have  to be educated guesses, based on known statistics from smaller, better- documented populations. I'm left wondering whether they rounded up or down?

Seems like they need an explanatory page detailing how they arrive at their numbers.
