The Number of Earths Needed for Different Countries’ Lifestyles
52 sats \ 6 comments \ @0xbitcoiner 15 Sep ideasfromtheedge
How many Earths would we need if the entire global population lived like one country? In this graphic, we’ve visualized data from the Global Footprint Network to see the number Earths required to sustain a world population that lived like Americans, Germans, and more.

Data and Methodology

The data we used to create this graphic is listed in the table below. Figures were published in 2022 (with data as of 2018).
These estimates are based on each country’s ecological footprint, which is measured in global hectares (gha).
It represents the amount of biologically productive land and water a population requires to produce all of the resources it consumes and to absorb the waste it generates, using prevailing technologies.

It is interesting to see this but it is only a materialists' view. Furthermore the data that is presented will definitely reflect the funding of those who are presenting the material.
Perhaps there is some illusion in the belief that there are presentations without bias but the nonsense of 2020 clearly revealed that they're are organizations intent on steering the narrative and controlling the academic dumbing down of humanity.
Without any spiritual connection this data is empty and at best a snapshot of hypothesis manipulated by Fiat currency. When data is funded by Bitcoin we will see something much different.

This graph is based on the ecological footprint.
An ecological deficit occurs when the Ecological Footprint of a population exceeds the biocapacity of the area available to that population. A national ecological deficit means that the country is net-importing biocapacity through trade, liquidating national ecological assets or emitting more carbon dioxide waste into the atmosphere than its own ecosystems absorb. In contrast, an ecological reserve exists when the biocapacity of a region exceeds its population's Ecological Footprint.

I understand fully. But the data is collected and cherry picked according do propaganda needs. Humans have been on this planet about 50,000 years (in our current form... Two Great Years) and life has existed in this Universe for many Kalpa.
This current age of Kali Yuga will eventually result in humans living about 20 to 30 years with the exception of those who are serving the Creator. The Kali Yuga started about 5,000 years ago. It is known as the Age of Quarrel in English.
General Overview
After Dwapara Yuga comes Kali Yuga the age of darkness, when spirituality is eclipsed by selfishness and dogmatic materialism. While Sri Krishna remained on the planet, Kali Yuga could not begin. The reason is that the presence of the Supreme Person keeps ignorance and irreligion at bay. As the Vaisnava poet Krishnadasa has written:
kṛṣṇa — sūrya-sama; māyā haya andhakāra yāhāṅ kṛṣṇa, tāhāṅ nāhi māyāra adhikāra
“Krishna is compared to sunshine, and māyā [illusion] is compared to darkness. Wherever there is sunshine, there cannot be darkness. As soon as one takes to Krishna consciousness, the darkness of illusion will immediately vanish.” (Caitanya-caritamrta, 2.22.31)
However, shortly after the departure of Sri Krishna to His own realm in the spiritual sky, Kali Yuga broke out in full force. The social order was turned on its head. Instead of educating and protecting the populace, religious and political leaders abandoned virtue and became the chief criminals in society. The Vedas describe many events of Kali Yuga in great detail.
In Kali Yuga, or the Iron Age, spirituality and morality are diminished to shadows of their former selves. Deception and hypocrisy in the name of religion is the status quo. The only process of dharma that is still practiced and effective is nama-sankirtana, or chanting the names of God, especially the maha-mantra: Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare/ Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare.
As the Dark Age, Kali Yuga is the polar opposite of the Golden Age, Satya Yuga. During Kali Yuga, the world is virtually devoid of peace. All living beings suffer material hardships as they struggle simply to survive, being deeply afflicted by fear.
In Kali Yuga, people live up to only 100 years. The Bhagavata Purana describes human beings of Kali Yuga as follows:
“In this iron Age of Kali men almost always have but short lives. They are quarrelsome, lazy, misguided, unlucky and, above all, always disturbed.” (Srimad Bhagavatam, 1.1.10)
