And what a way to present the information......
by Mukundan on Jul 26, 2008 07:59 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

The slide show is unnecessary...... Just a photograph of the country and their consumption figures.......

Could have had a table with their consumptions and how much of the world's consumption is their contribution.

Would have made sense to have included per capita consumption and the country's GDP to understand the situation better.....

he is just putting in front a valid point...
its appropriate to provide per capita consumption along with the total consumption. This is an imp factor, India consumes ~ 2.5m barrels of oil per day, that is 3% of total consumption in world even though India has 26% of the world population, on the other hand US consumes 20m barrels per day, which amounts to 25% of total world consumption but their population is just 5% of the world. YOu can see he contrast!

A million people from across the world go through these statistics. Its easier for rediff to have done the table than a million people individually doing it......

Dont have to mention about your IQ here..... as good as the person who wrote this article.....

Keep it up
