This is an interesting Flash simulation of CO2 emissions and birth/death rates. It's clearly designed to put things in a very real, tangible form, and it does that quite well:
"Breathing Earth is a visual, real-time simulation of the CO2 emission rates, birth rates and death rates of every country in the world."
Personally, I'd like to be able to drill down to a more local level. Seeing things ona global scale is interesting but too distant. CO2 emissions are a subject best tackled in a local, how it affects your community, kind of way.

Now that is an interesting site. It's really interesting to compare the population of some of the countries with their levels of CO2 emissions..... For instance, the US, with a population around 300million, emits 1000 tonnes of CO2 every 5.4 seconds, whereas the UK, with a population of about 60 million, emits 1000 tonnes every 55 seconds, so that's just over half the amount the US emits per person.
I was surprised to see how much better France is than the UK. It would be interesting to know why. I wonder how much has got to do with their high speed trains (TGV) providing a good alternative to flying for internal journeys....
