They count abortions as deaths - I no longer respect this as a valid source of information |

sucks to live in US. You're practically guaranteed to have your ID stolen, and odds are not against violent crime. |

@PsychGeek - I'd say based on a combination of census data and trends over (50 years? 100? 5?) A lot of countries have thousands if not millions of people born without birth certificates (i think) so maybe not very accurate, but a good general idea. |

This is going to sound messed up, but I won't that overall human population thing to go down for once. |

'Cause I need to know how many people are dying around me at any given time, and how polluted we are making the Earth every second. I'm tired of all this negativity, all this "You're guilty because you are now aware" bullpoo. |

Wow, they skipped "pigs" for the food consumption chart. Hard to take it seriously when they miss one of the greatest foods in the world - BACON! |

"This is obviously fake. It's impossible to track the earth like that."
It's called a AVERAGE, based on the sources they say that 414 people die by fire every day, so on AVERAGE a person dies that way every, like, 3.5mins i believe. and of course the data is from what has already happened, nobody can say for sure whats going to happen in the future. |

"This is obviously fake. It's impossible to track the earth like that."
It's not meant to be real!!! - just a representation of what is happening on average. Basically the number of births for example have been recorded every year and this is used to make predictions on how many will be born this year and in subsequent years...
Basically if the number of births in:
2001 = 1000
2002 = 2000
2003 = 3000
...
2009 = 9000
Then you could PREDICT that 2010 = 10000
Then it'sa simple case of dividing 10000/365 = roughly 24/ day
So the counter will go up by one every hour
Obviously this is over-simplified... This isn't taking into account the calculus involved. I.e. the population growth is determined by the population to begin with. Lets call is 10%. So initially you start with 1000 people, it then goes up to 1100 (1000+10%), the next figure is calculated by 1100+10% = 1210.

5cats, you forgot to take into account all the other uses for oil. What about plastics and some cosmetics? Don't forget propane.
Oh, what the heck, I'll just link to the first page that popped on Google. Cut up into pieces so it fits into the forum, naturally.
