Hans Rosling: Religions and Babies
Watching Hans Rosling chase data points across a screen with a huge pointer as he gives breathless play-by-play of statsitical changes will never get old.
In a planet that’s getting increasingly full, we must ask a couple of questions: How can we prepare for tomorrow’s population, whatever it will be? How do birth rates relate to lifestyle around the world?
I’ve heard it said before that certain religious beliefs lead to more children per woman. There’s the stereotype extremes of Latin American Catholics and Northern European athiests. Do they hold water?
Hans takes a look at world religions, average income and family planning and how they relate to birth rates and population growth in the way that only Mr. Rosling can.
I’ll let you watch the details, but controlling population is most certainly about providing more opportunity, not less religion. An instant TED favorite.

Molly boasts an impressive knack at fighting in the dark. She also has the power to steal all powers of her combatants and use it against them, but this power fades when she is knocked unconscious. Terribly, Molly becomes unlucky in the presence of corbomite.
…Which means I’m always lucky, ‘cause corbomite doesn’t exist. /trekkie
Fire Ferret possesses the power to tunnel through solid magic. It has learned to fire psychic blasts from its whip against a series of antagonists and it wades into combat wielding a terrifying proboscis made from dust. Fire Ferret can communicate with yaks from a distance and it has mastered the ability to transform its body into glass. Additionally, it wrangles with assailants using a razor-sharp longbow and it has the power to view distant locations with its mind. Sadly, Fire Ferret suffers from being powerless.
