On consumptions by the populations of the world





Years ago, I read somewhere that the average Americans consumes 50


times more resources per person than the rest of the world’s population


. From this I have long ago concluded on my own that our children or


grandchildren must adjust their life style and lower their expectations in


order for the world to continue to exist. However,unlike Professor Wang


HongFei who is always meticulous with his references and data source in


his blog, I have forgotten the source of this data. But no matter, in


todays op-ed section of the New York Times, an authority no less than


the noted Jared Diamond backed up what I feared. You are welcomed to


read “New York Times Jan 2, 2008 Op-Ed section. The article also has


implications for China.
