By 1900, the industrial revolution in Europe and North America drove down Asia s share of global output to 20 . By the middle of this century, Asia should again represent half the world s population and GDP.

In 1750, Asia had three fifths of the world population and three fifths of the world s economic output. By 1900, after the industrial revolution in Europe and America, Asia accounted for just one fifth of world output.

His name was Sven Arrhenius. He was Swedish, and he said, if you double the CO2 level in the atmosphere, which he thought might this is in 1900 the temperature ought to go up about 5.5 degrees, he calculated.

In 1750, Asia had roughly three fifths of the world s population and accounted for three fifths of global output. By 1900, after the Industrial Revolution in Europe and America, Asia s share of global output had shrunk to one fifth.

The technologies on which many of us depend today arose from a parallel convergence of discoveries in physics and engineering in the early twentieth century. In 1900, the world did not have ready access to electricity, automobiles and aviation, or telecommunications.

In 1900, when the global human population was 1.5 billion, almost three million people roughly one in 500 died each year from air pollution, mostly from wretched indoor air. Today, the risk has receded to one death per 2,000 people.

But if we did, in 2025 or something, have double the CO2 as we had in 1900, they say it would be increase the energy budget by about in other words, one watt per square centimeter more would be coming in than going out.

Human life expectancy barely changed before the late eighteenth century. Yet it is difficult to overstate the magnitude of the gain since 1900 in that year, life expectancy worldwide was 32 years, compared to 69 now (and a projection of 76 years in 2050).

In 1800, Asia represented more than half of global population and output. By 1900, it represented only 20 of world output not because something bad happened in Asia, but rather because the Industrial Revolution had transformed Europe and North America into the world s workshop.

According to the same study, which was based on 323 cases of armed and unarmed opposition campaigns between 1900 and 2006, the likelihood of democratic transition within five years following a successful armed opposition campaign is only 3 , compared to 51 when campaigns were unarmed.

In the last 100 years, scientists have won many of the most important battles against infectious diseases, to the extent that poverty is now the main reason for a lack of treatment. Global average life expectancy in 1900 was 30 years today, it is 68 years.

It will probably come as a big surprise that climate change is expected to be mostly an increasing net benefit rising to about 1.5 of GDP per year in the period from 1900 to 2025. This is because global warming has mixed effects for moderate warming, the benefits prevail.

Even taking into account that someone has to do unpaid housework and the increased costs of female education, the loss was at least 17 of global GDP in 1900. Today, with higher female participation and lower wage differentials, the loss is 7 and projected to fall to 4 by 2050.

When the Industrial Revolution began, Asia s share of the global economy began to decline from more than 50 to just 20 by 1900. By the second half of this century, Asia is expected to recover its former economic dominance that is, account for 50 of global output while lifting hundreds of millions of people out of poverty.

Suppose you had placed a long term bet on financial equities in 1900, along with a short bet on general equities in effect a gamble on whether the UK financial sector would outperform the market.

Evangelicalism is the fastest growing world religion by conversion a trend that underlies the strong expansion of Protestantism in traditionally Roman Catholic Latin America. Protestants in Latin America accounted for only 2.2 of the population in 1900, but 16.4 in 2010, with growth coming mainly at the expense of Catholics, whose population share fell from 90.4 to 82.3 .

As temperatures have increased, the sea level s rise has accelerated from one centimeter per decade in the early twentieth century to more than three centimeters in each of the last two decades an overall increase of nearly 20 centimeters since 1900. While the numbers may seem small, the rise significantly increases the likelihood of severe flooding along vulnerable coasts worldwide.

It may be helpful to look back, in particular, to Japanese actions at the time of the Boxer Rebellion (1900), as well as during World War I. Of course, there are huge differences between the situation then and what Japan faces now. But those historic contexts shed light on Japan's response to events in Iraq and the wider world today.

The geometric average real return of the US stock market was 6.7 , but the median geometric real return for the other countries was only 4.7 .

Similarly, Gurría tells us that Hurricane Sandy, which slammed into New York City in 2012, is an example of inaction on climate change, costing the United States the equivalent of 0.5 of its GDP each year. In fact, the US currently is experiencing the longest absence of intense landfall hurricanes since records began in 1900, while the adjusted damage cost for the US during this period, including Hurricane Sandy, has fallen slightly.

In the US, the biggest one year drop in the Global Financial Data extension of Moody's monthly total return index for 30 year corporate bonds (going back to 1857) was 12.5 in the 12 months ending in February 1980.
