World-o-meters
I just found this site called Worldometers, made by the Real Time Statistics Project.
This site keeps a running total of many fascinating and frightening statistics! Ever-changing World Population, Government Economic, Social media, Environment, Water and Energy Use and types. The project is constantly recalculating data.
Find out how much money is spent on video games in the world today. Or how much energy was used and the source of that energy. Ever wonder how many news papers were circulated today? It also keeps a running total of Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions this year, in tons. You can even learn how much Desertification happened this year ( in hectares) and how many days to”end of oil!”
There is even a section with “statistics of the month” like these
- April 2009 – Toilets flushed today
- March 2009 – Glaciers lost this year in West Antarctica
- March 2008 – Garbage piling up in the streets of Naples without being collected
- February 2008 – Price of a bottle of beer in Zimbabwe
- January 2008 – Toxic chemicals released by industries worldwide into our air, land, and water this year
The numbers are surprising and sobering.
