This page puts a few things into perspective


The World Clock

I'm not sure where these figures are coming from, but many are interesting...and some are terrifying. Note--

--about three times as many births as deaths
--Earth's temperature trending up
--about a thousand barrels of oil produced every second
--war is not near the scourge I'd thought
--"abortions"...boy, an awful lot. One presumes this does not include miscarriages.
--three bicycles produced for every car. (Doubtless that ratio will increase, too.)

I've had it with oil and look forward to the day when we run out.
