Over the weekend I added several new FAQ pages. Two pages focus on the effect that AIDS is having on life expectancies and death rates in the countries where it is the biggest problem:
- Excess AIDS Deaths – gives estimates of the number of people who are dying because of AIDS
- AIDS/HIV Effect on Life Expectancy – shows how much AIDS is depressing the life expectancy of people
I also entered in data illustrating changes in forest cover for all nations of the world. This relies on FAO data that estimated the amount that forest cover changed from 1990-1995.
I’ve finally got time to go through a backlog of information I’ve tracked down over the past 6 months, so expect a lot more of such data-oriented pages.
