- urbi et orbi
Befolkningseksplosionen er slut. Rosling forklarer det nok engang. Det kan ikke siges for tit:
Hans Rosling: Religions and babies
Hans Rosling had a question: Do some religions have a higher birth rate than others — and how does this affect global population growth? Speaking at the TEDxSummit in Doha, Qatar, he graphs data over time and across religions. With his trademark humor and sharp insight, Hans reaches a surprising conclusion on world fertility rates.

Hans Rosling er med på Time Magazines nye liste over “The 100 Most Influential People in the World“. I den anledning snupper vi lige en video.

Spol 17 minutter frem – indledningen er ikke til at holde ud at høre på. Roslings foredrag rummer ikke meget nyt – Gates starter efter ca. 32 minutter:
Bill Gates & Hans Rosling launch Global Poverty Ambassadors
On January 25th, the Global Poverty Project hosted Hans Rosling and Bill Gates at the London School of Economics to launch Global Poverty Ambassadors in partnership with The Co-Operative.
PBS NewsHour har lavet et portræt af Rosling, som er noget banalt – 10 minutter på YouTube her. Og artikel – ret interessant:
Global Poverty Act is Back: Is Bill Gates the World’s Richest Useful Idiot?
January 5, 2012 – Tom DeWeese
He might be a whiz kid at creating computer software, but beyond that Bill Gates has proven time and again that he hasn’t a clue about why or how freedom works.
He constantly teams up with anti-free market types like the National Wildlife Federation (NWF) to produce “educational programs” in his software packages, misdirecting unsuspecting children with political propaganda. In 2002 he gave the NWF $600,000 worth of software to help these environmental radicals run their programs to block the drilling of American oil. Apparently Gates doesn’t understand that he needs oil to create power to run computers. Most recently his Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation donated $3 million to eight universities to reinvent the flush toilet. Environmentalists call that device “one of the world’s most destructive habits.”

Vi snupper lige endnu et par videoer med Hans Rosling. Den første varer mindre end 5 minutter, men den er filmteknisk set meget seværdig. Fra BBC - fra 26. november 2010:
The Joy of Stats
Documentary which takes viewers on a rollercoaster ride through the wonderful world of statistics to explore the remarkable power thay have to change our understanding of the world, presented by superstar boffin Professor Hans Rosling, whose eye-opening, mind-expanding and funny online lectures have made him an international internet legend.
Rosling is a man who revels in the glorious nerdiness of statistics, and here he entertainingly explores their history, how they work mathematically and how they can be used in today’s computer age to see the world as it really is, not just as we imagine it to be.
Rosling’s lectures use huge quantities of public data to reveal the story of the world’s past, present and future development. Now he tells the story of the world in 200 countries over 200 years using 120,000 numbers – in just four minutes.
The film also explores cutting-edge examples of statistics in action today. In San Francisco, a new app mashes up police department data with the city’s street map to show what crime is being reported street by street, house by house, in near real-time. Every citizen can use it and the hidden patterns of their city are starkly revealed. Meanwhile, at Google HQ the machine translation project tries to translate between 57 languages, using lots of statistics and no linguists.
Despite its light and witty touch, the film nonetheless has a serious message – without statistics we are cast adrift on an ocean of confusion, but armed with stats we can take control of our lives, hold our rulers to account and see the world as it really is. What’s more, Hans concludes, we can now collect and analyse such huge quantities of data and at such speeds that scientific method itself seems to be changing.
Videoen ovenfor er et segment snuppet fra den næste video. BBC har lavet flere programmer med Hans Rosling. Her er den nyeste virkelig flotte udsendelse, der handler om statistikkens historie. Udsendelsen gennemgår også eksempler på moderne anvendelse af statistik. Uploadet på YouTube den 14. marts 2011. Man skal være interesseret i enten historie eller statistik, for at synes, den er sjov:
