There's a lot to do here, but one that you might not have heard about is the "Institut du Monde Arabe" (Institute of the Arab World, which has an exhibition of archaeological artifacts from Gaza: www.imarabe.org/fr/agenda/ex...

Much, much lower. The OECD, which collectively matches China's total population, used 4x as much gasoline, kerosene and gasoil as China did last year.

There, data suggest that the combustion uses of oil (i.e use outside of petchems) have already reached a plateau, and that there's limited potential for future growth. Most interestingly, on a per-capita basis, this plateau is at a much lower level than in the OECD countries.

The assumption that levels of consumption in low and middle income countries will converge with developed economies underpins the argument that oil demand growth will continue ad-nauseam. China leads us to question this assumption.

"Represent" is hilarious and brilliant. "Family Business" is a nice light watch too.

A friend of mine was quite young at the time, and went around the prisons with his mother to look for his dad, who’d been taken in 1990. Eventually they were led to a mass-grave where they found his dad had been buried alive with other prisoners as a birthday tribute for Saddam.

Without further action, 645 million people will still lack electricity access in 2030.
