Breathingearth.net has a nice simulation of the most polluting countries.

The legend is as follows:

It reminds me of my own World Population simulation, where you can get a sense of population growth in the past, and future.

    I think that that breathing map is really scary
    because it shows just how stupid humanity is
    to let it get this far and to do nothing about it. Making Hybrid cars? yea why don’t the buisness and manufactures stop making everything else for about 100 years. Then maybe everyone won’t die!!!

    Hi Sierra and thanks for your comment.

    We have to do something about reducing energy demand – and quick.

    You are right:

    “how stupid humanity is”

    We are so intelligent yet so naive to be so irresponsible and inconsiderate. May god forgive us for we do not know what we are doing.
