this is very very cool. one question though – where is the data behind this thing from? I’d like to forward it but want to check if it’s accurate first.
thanks!

Fascinating. I have no idea how accurate any of this is, and I’m especially dubious of the quantity of oil left. There’s an amazing amount of important information about all of these measurements that’s not represented here, and endless nuance as far as how we collect data and analyze it, but it presents a quick way to contemplate some heavy things. Hitting the “now” button is both thought-provoking, and sort of zen.

Amazing!!! This is all what I can say at the first glance on this clock. Please, can you justify all the information shown above? It’s scary, indeed.
I wish that someone comes soon to rescue the Earth.

Has anyone noticed that the species extinct and tons of ocean oil spills are the exact same, and that they’re exactly half of the tons of nuclear waste?

It’s interesting and well put together, although without reliable sources and no information provided, it has zero legitimacy. It’d be impressive if there was something to back it up, especially with the more dubious figures.

I see no attempt at validation of data presented by the “earth clock” as yet. It should be easy to do since you created it, right?
imho that shows this page is pointless liberal bs.

I heard an NPR report within the last year that said the world’s oil supply would run out in about 40 years at the current rate of consumption, and the clock here puts it at 42, so I would say there is some corroborating data. It’s not so much the numbers, however, but how they were attained, and what kind of spin was put on them. The problem with any presentation of statistics is always the filter through which it was processed in the first place.

I see from the posts that you were successful in getting some viewers to think and of course weed out those that can’t. Good work and I love the concept but maybe you can add a small reminder of how many idiots are on the planet, or brain dead or something along that line. LOL. Thanks.

Oil depletion timer looks highly inaccurate.
I wish big errors were avoided in this sensible exercise.

Its easy to see how well the Richt holds up their side of the argument. Even, with this being dubious, and at 1/4 the rate its damning. It is not a matter of being scared of it, It is understanding your problems and facing them. Not asking others to do it for you, it is your world.

I like the alternative thats presented to trying to fix this too… If we’re not going to work towards sustainability (awesome for the economy by the way).
Then what? We what rape the planet barren and then eat each other?

If you mouse over the ? on the clock there is a statement about the source of the data… very general… and an admission that the numbers are best estimates and not exact figures. This was created by Poodwaddle. check them, out at:

The guy who created this seems to be more on the right than the left… a Christian Conservative probably… hard to be sure(which is a good sign). Overall, he seems to have tried very hard to be as fair and as accurate as possible. That said, the numbers seem rather conservative to me.

since BP started spilling oil into the gulf the “Oil Spill” counter should be racking up a bit faster. The news today said “The spill rate of oil is now estimated between 35,000 and 60,000 barrels per day (1.47 million gallons to 2.5 million gallons), said Energy Secretary Steven Chu.” http://industry.bnet.com/energy/10004900/more-pain-for-bp-rising-cleanup-costs-and-increasing-oil-spill-rates-into-gulf-waters/
