How global demographics relate to climate change...

Another great presentation from our favorite statistician Hans Rosling, this time about the relationship between world demographics and climate change. I would somehow argue with his statement that the poorest portion of the world's population are the least polluting (aren't their likely to bake cement or farm their land in ways that are polluting? On the other hand, their total impact per capita would probably be less than in richer countries indeed).

But the overall message is clear: it's up to the richest countries to modify their behavior...
