Yea that's a great game. But after a few weeks of playing and giving up on the earth for good, i had to look online how to save the earth. We're doomed.

Chocolate Consumption vs Nobel Prizes
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/07/25/chocolate_consumption_linked_to_receiving_a_nobel_prize/

If you take that graph as two separate parts, one for chocolate consumption over ~5 or 6 kg/yr/capita, and one for chocolate consumption less than that, then it makes a lot more sense...

I thought this was a joke, like the pirates vs. global warming graphs. Turns out this actually got published....


edit: damn, the end of the bbc article says it's a joke. Should have read on. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-20356613

May I request you continue this discussion in a more appropriate place, like the Computer & Tech subforum?

I think the biggest surprise of the Amazon graph is the general small number of books.

I wonder why Nigeria and Venezuela are so high on the dirty list?

 

[Mise]

Is offshore oil dirtier for some reason? Harder to extract = more energy req'd?

 

[Cutlass]

I don't know that much Nigeria production is offshore. But I think it is wetlands, rivers, marsh. And that may make a difference. Venezuela has a lot of it's production in a large shallow lake, and that's supposed to be severely polluted.

Venezuela has both conventional crude oil (of which I am understood to be 'dirtier' than other typical sources, though I don't really have an idea of what that even means. (Not a scientificy type. )) and the Orinoco Oil Belt which is just now being explored and exploited, hosts tar sands similar to that of the Athabaska oil sands in Canada, except deeper underground.

could it be related to use older/dirtier technologies and extraction techniques?
As far as I know Nigeria is far from the top of ecological conscious countries

I read that people born since 1980 outnumber the boomers now, but the boomers vote so get disproportionate stuff from the gov't.
