It's a map with the country size adjusted by actual population

it doesn't put anything in perspective, it says nothing about density or quality of life etc

The biggest surprise for me is how tiny the populations of Russia and Canada are.

Population's up to 6.9 billion, last time I checked.
In the 32 years I've been alive, approximately 2.67 Billion people have been added. So, very roughly speaking, within my lifetime the population has nearly doubled.
Obviously this isn't sustainable - but what's the answer?
Something Very Frightening.

* The growth rate of the world's population appears to have peaked around 1970, when the annual rate of growth was 2.09 percent.
* By 1980, annual population growth was down to 1.73 percent, and by 1990 to 1.7 percent.
* By 1995, the annual increase had slowed even more to 1.5percent.

Nairn - Hint: It's got something to do with the nature of rates of growth. http://en.wikipedia.…Nairn
- But 1.5% of 6.7 billion (2009) is a lot more than 2.09% of 3.7 billion (1970).ETM

If the entire population of the world were put into the land area of Texas, each person would have an area equal to the floor space of a typical U.S. home and the population density of Texas would be about the same as Paris, France.

that has to be one of the most stupidly ignorant, borderline fascist, statements I've ever heard. unless, of course, you anticipate keeping the bulk of the world's masses at heel in poverty (which as a good christian boy you don't), overpopulation represents the SINGLE biggest worry we have.
All of our other concerns are a direct product and are geometrically contributed-to in line with population growth.
What point a reduction in 1st world carbon emissions if Africa and Amazon strips her forests?
