Hey, doomsayers, next time you think everything is getting worse in our world, remember these facts about the worldwide population:
- Infant mortality decreased by more than half between 1990 and 2010.
- 43 percent of people lived to at least the age of 70 in 2010, up from 33 percent in 1990. That's a 30 percent increase.
- The average age of death in Brazil and Paraguay increased from just 30 to 63 between 1970 and 2010.
