The World Consumption Clock

Below: a sneak peak at part of Lou's World Consumption Clock
Maybe you're familiar with the National Debt Clock. It isn't really a clock, but rather a sign that tells us how much the United States government is in debt.

Lou Grinzo recently created what he calls Lou's Energy and Environmental Clock. To make it simple, you could also call it the world consumption clock. In the few minutes that I've been watching the clock, I've observed the loss of millions of tons of Arctic ice, the consumption of hundreds of thousands of barrels of oil, hundreds of tons of CO2 emissions, and the addition of hundreds of people who will encourage the growth of all the other numbers.

Altogether, Lou's consumption clock is keeping track of seventeen 'fields' of consumption. And for each field numbers are visible for "this session," "today," "this month," and "this year."

I encourage you to check out Lou's clock and also look at his blog: The Cost of Energy: News, Statistics, Commentary, and Activism.
