  An incredible lecture that uses statistics to show that the world is much better than many people think.

  The challenge of population explosion - has been solved.

  The Challenge of extreme poverty is within our grasp.

  The challenge of climate change - well that's something we need to focus on,,,,,,,,, Take an hour watch this, it dispels the doom and gloom preached  by many.

  From 23:00 to 26:30 is very clever reasoning, and entertaining.
  Worth watching that bit at least!

  That graphic should also include the phrase "Living standards increasing all over the world."

  Edit: I see it mentions "quality of life". 
  OK, Move along, nothing to see here :-)
