Out of the Blue – June 2015

Out of the blue

Interesting snippets from the world of data

Deconstructing the World population…
… and putting it all into one, two or three dimensions isn’t an easy job, you’ve got all 7.3 billion people to deal with! If you put everyone in one line how many times would it go around the equator or to the Moon and back? Find out here.

How do we move in cities?
Did you know that London is the fifth most active city? (Not)surprisingly just over the third of Amsterdamers cycle and nearly three quarters of LAers prefer driving. This website tells you more.

Sea level rise – are we in danger?
This interactive map shows how different levels of flooding might affect our lives. Never mind Londoners, at +13 m level nearly all of the Netherlands go under water, so does Bangkok and Shanghai. No more cycling dear Amsterdamers!

Spurious correlations
What has cheese consumption got to do with people killed by their bedsheets? Or the age of Miss America with murders by hot objects? Apparently these and a few more sweet couples move hand in hand over time.
