In this interesting documentary, Professor Hans Rosling of Sweden covers population growth (including a prediction of population leveling off at 11 billion), average global family size, income gaps, encouraging global trends in the quality of life in each country (as a function of lifespan and income), the distinction between poverty and extreme poverty, CO2 emissions by income, and more. Although, as he says, the world will have considerable challenges feeding 11 billion people, his predictions might leave you feeling more optimistic about the future of humankind on Planet Earth:
