Breathing Earth

Description: 

A real-time simulation displays the CO2 emissions of every country in the world, as well as their birth and death rates. It is just a simulation. Although the co2 emission, birth rate and death rate data used in Breathing Earth comes from reputable sources, data that measures things on such a massive scale can never be 100% accurate. Please note however that the co2 emission levels shown here are much more likely to be too low than they are to be too high.
