    It's Friday. Keep smiling so that you maintain enough mental space to think clearly about all the potential global crises in the future. We must prevent them. Have a good weekend.

    Now that people start realizing what we meant by 5 global risks, (because nr.1 just happened) lets also realize that nr. 2,3,4&5 are real risks! A financial collapse must be prevented, just like World War 3, Global warming and Extreme Poverty too!

    The Doing Business report's so called "data" should be removed from your website, as it was seriously manipulated! Please show me that you are serious about data quality!

    For many years the published a report called ”Doing Business”, pretending to have “data” about ”business friendliness”of countries. In reality it was a tool to make governments open their markets. We never used it, thanks to our doubt procedure... 1/4

    Lot's of Gapminder's followers were right, but the public, in UK at least, underestimate agriculture's water usage. Spread this to you friends, who probably don't realise: Some places with water shortage, may benefit from importing food.

    HOW WE USE OUR WATER: What do you think? Answer the question (without Googling first) and share with friends. We should all probably know this. Of all the freshwater used in the world, how much goes to agriculture? Correct answer and related questions:

    Yes we told you 2 years ago: A pandemic is very likely. Just like the other four: finance collapse, World War III, climate crisis and extreme poverty. As long as people’s attention is consumed by mini-risks, we’ll fail to prevent the big global risks.

    NEW—Study estimates from 2000-2030, against 10 major pathogens will have prevented 69 million deaths in low/middle-income countries (LMICs). Without vaccination, mortality in children under 5 would be 45% higher in LMICS. Read:

    Figure 2: Estimates of disease-specific deaths by calendar year, from 2000 to 2030, across 98 countries, for reported and projected vaccine coverage and counterfactual (no vaccination) coverage
    Figure 3: Estimates of deaths averted by vaccination in 98 countries

    Remember seeing this video early on last year and it's still a very useful visualization of "keeping the distance" nonsense. Guess that's why someone likes to add "15 minutes" to these conversation.
