Global population growth peaked six decades ago

“The growth rate peaked in 1963 at over 2% per year, and since then, it has more than halved, falling to less than 1% by 2020.”

Mapped: The 10 U.S. States With the Lowest Real GDP Growth

“Delaware witnessed the slowest growth in the country, with real GDP growth of -1.2% over the year as a sluggish finance and insurance sector dampened the state’s economy.”

How do we use the Earth’s land?

“There are a few pretty big takeaways here. For one, the fact that agriculture takes up almost half of habitable land. Humankind has, over the past 1000 years, turned 120,000 square kilometers of wild habitat into farmland — an area equal to the USA 13 times over.

That, of course, makes agriculture the absolute number one cause of deforestation and our planet’s diminishing biodiversity.”

I know some fediverse apps use various text/image detection technologies, so I was curious if this encourages the use of alt text.

The main thing I learned: Out of nearly 30,000 fediverse posts I looked at, almost 80% did not have information about the client app.

That was a bit surprising. And it makes doing this sort of analysis difficult.

You can still see some trends, for example, people who use Ivory for iOS posted 49% of their images with alt text, compared to Mastodon's 17.8% for Android and 20% for iOS users.

But I am not sure if there is enough data to draw solid conclusions.

    "Infant mortality rates have plummeted over the last 50 years.

    Globally, they’ve fallen by over two-thirds, from around 10% in 1974 to less than 3% today.

    The study’s researchers estimate that 40% of this decline is due to vaccines."

    🇨🇳 Was the global decline of extreme poverty only due to China?

    "The large economic growth that lifted 800 million Chinese people out of extreme poverty since 1990 was a major contributor to the global decline in poverty. But the non-Chinese world also achieved a very large reduction."
