Via a recent bookmark from Todd, I discovered The Breathing Earth. You may have seen it already (it seems to have made the rounds), but I dig it. It’s a lovely visualization of the world’s births, deaths and carbon dioxide emissions. I’m not exactly selling it there–just go check it out.
This is darrenbarefoot.com, weblog of Darren Barefoot. You are viewing The Breathing Earth is Pretty Cool.

Hey Darren I’m glad you found that. It’s a mesmerizing display - after watching it for a while last night I let it slip out of my attention but left the page open in the background. Returning to it later I found that while I was eating and reading a magazine, so much had been added to the world. Quite the perspective adjustment.

[…] However, more and more sites are now using flash quite cleverly. Via Darren, who found this site via Todd, I discovered the Breathing Earth. This flash site uses an interactive display of real time carbon dioxide production, birth and death rates by country. Watching what takes place in the world is truly fascinating.
