The Breathing Earth Simulation

Breathing Earth

If you are the kind of person who always loves visuals, BreathingEarth.net, created by David Bleja, is perfect for those who are also obsessed about climate change and C02 emissions.

The site features a real time simulation display of births, deaths how many tons of CO2 have been emitted over the course of your viewing time while counting clock of the world’s current population continues to rotate. One of the most interesting things about this is to watch the higher rate of births to deaths in any given area. You can also scroll over your countries of choice to find specific data relating to that country.

Is this site accurate? Well, nothing is ever 100% and the data is about a year old with the latest stats available as of December 2008 with the sources being used are the CIA World Factbook and the UN Statistics division. So at least we can say they are considered reliable.

One thing that would be interesting to see in the future of this site is how the data from 2008 compared to the new stats coming out at the end of this year. Will our efforts in climate change education and activism show to have some sort of impact or do we still have a lot more work to do in getting the message across?
