FIVE UNDENIABLE FACTS THAT THE WORLD IS GETTING BETTER
When the news is screaming bloody murder
When the news is screaming bloody murder in
our brains, and our social media feeds are full of people disagreeing with each
other in the vilest manner possible, it’s hard to believe that things are
peachy right now.
But, well, when you take a step back and look
at the grand picture — they are. With the help of the always awesome Deefrent
research team, we present to you a handful of reasons why this tiny blue planet
of ours isn’t all that bad. Here are just five important undeniable facts that
the world is indeed getting better.
1, we’re getting Smarter: Average IQ scores
have risen 24 points since 1914. Test markers constantly have to read just IQ
test to account for the fact that each generation of children is smarter than
any that came before. It’s called the Flynn effect and it says that kids are
doing way better on harder tests.
2.
The Ozone Layer is making a Recovery: a new assessment by 300m
scientists indicate that the ozone layer is well on track to recovery in the
next few decades. The ozone layer is expected to recover to 1980 benchmark
levels (the time before significant Ozone layer depletion) before the middle of
the century in mid-latitudes and the Arctic and somewhat later in the
Antarctic.
3.
We’re living longer: Although most babies born in 1900 didn’t
live past age 50 life expectancy at birth now exceeds 83 years in japan and is
at least 81 years in several other countries.
4.
Renewables now produce 22% of the world’s Electricity: That
number puts renewable electricity generation from wind, solar, and hydro on par
with that of natural gas.
5.
Scientists may have found a way to slow down Aging: A team of
researchers has identified a gene that could be used to stave off senescence-
the decline in the body’s ability to fight diseases that come with aging and
found a way to remotely activate that gene.
