Excellent!
-
what program is he using?
-
turn on the closed captioning, you will laugh your ass off :D

He has some pretty pictures but he's only working with a very select set of indicators. He talks about income but doesn't talk about how much of that goes to servicing odious debt, nor whether improving income/health stats within various nations rely on a privileged class who skew the data - no reason he couldn't have visualised medians, modes etc.
But that might mess with the TED narrative! Thrill baby, thrill!

Want to know something funny. A week ago I said something to the effect of us being able to engineer systems that could pull CO2 out of the air, organically, in an energy producign fashion (like trees do now). When I said that I thought maybe in 10 years, but at the end of this Crag Venter talk it looks like this is exactly what they are on the verge of doing. v=QHIocNOHd7A

@danielwolfberg RE: failing to see your point.
I must be missing yours.
I thought yours was more people = more CO2, and less resources, both of which that video helps dispel..
His analogy could have been better, but the ideas are valid. We have all the atoms we need, because atoms are the ultimate recyclable. We have all the energy we need because the sun's beaming it our way. Current trends are already leading to a zero CO2 energy.
I must have missed your point. What did I miss?

@neoaeonian it was an interesting presentation, although after he left the statistics and went into a metaphorical planning for the future I was a bit diappointed. But yes, we are decreasing the usage of oil. I'm failing to see your point with this video. Only thing I gathered from it was the fact that there'll always be a peak for everything. Including the rate of increasing population compared to child mortality.
