The Breathing Earth Simulation --- check it out

[RiverStone]

Welcome to Breathing Earth. This real-time simulation displays the CO2 emissions of every country in the world, as well as their birth and death rates.

Please remember that this real time simulation is just that: a simulation. Although the CO2 emission, birth rate and death rate data used in Breathing Earth comes from reputable sources, data that measures things on such a massive scale can never be 100% accurate. Please note however that the CO2 emission levels shown here are much more likely to be too low than they are to be too high.

Lots to :think: about...

4. As you scroll over each country --- look at the changing stats on the lower left

Without moving your cursor over the map, it looks like the earth with a bunch of random blinking things (which it is). :)

5. We are still the top emitters per capita. And second is ... Australia.

We emit almost 1000 times as much CO2 per capita as does Afghanistan.
