Kenny, you might be interested in Hans Rosling's TED Talks presentation on global population. Hans is one my favorite presenters.

Summary taken from the TED site:
Quote:
The world's population will grow to 9 billion over the next 50 years -- and only by raising the living standards of the poorest can we check population growth. This is the paradoxical answer that Hans Rosling unveils at TED@Cannes using colorful new data display technology (you'll see).
