My @TEDTalks is now online. I argue that we have the opportunity to build a world where we can all live well, and tackle our environmental problems at the same time. This is possible, but not inevitable. We have to push to make that a reality. ted.com/talks/hannah_r…

New post by me @OurWorldInData! How do researchers study the prevalence of mental illnesses worldwide? What are the limitations with these estimates? Thread. ourworldindata.org/how-do-researc…

Onshore wind farms are popular in the UK. Most people support building more of them. This is true across political lines. Data from YouGov: yougov.co.uk/topics/politic…

If you live on more than $30 a day, you are part of the richest 15% of the world. 👇This chart shows the global income distribution. from my @OurWorldInData article on global inequality: ourworldindata.org/global-economi…

Some people are asking what the global median income is. According to the same source it is $7.56 per day. This means that half the world lives on less than that. And some are asking about mean and median incomes in particular countries. Here it is: ourworldindata.org/grapher/mean-v…
