Yann Arthus-Bertrand: A wide-angle view of fragile Earth

In the video Yann Arthus-Bertrand shows us pictures in the world. Where you can see the damage caused by humans; first he shows us a sand oil in Alberta where the extractions of oil are working 24/7, and says us that we are needing more than 3 times in a year as the oil we can find, also shows about corals that they will wipe out by a 100% at 2015, this will affect the biodiversity in the ocean; and in a different place he shows another pictures from North Pole and Kilimanjaro mountain, he tell us that the ice are melting from 1960. In general in this part he talk about the damage we are causing to the earth. In the second part of his presentation; he shows us the project 6 billion others, where people all around the world was interview about life and for finish the presentation he show us the trailer of his movie named it HOME.

Yann Arthus-Bertrand presentation is very touching, because he shows us pictures about Earth and made us watch the emotions of people about life; so he tried to make aware us about our own emotions and do something about what are we doing right now in our HOME, where we are living and make a change in our stay in this HOME.

The population of Chile

Chile is located in South America and they have actually like 17 million of person, but 100 years before (1910) was a different situation; the population was around 3 million people. From 1910 to 1930  the population slightly increased to 4 million, but from 1970 at the end of the century the population start to rise from 8,5 million to 14 million; reaching 16 million of people (2012). Staticians set the population of Chile in 17 million because the measurement wasn't representative. In a comparative with our neighbor Argentina, they in 1910 have approximately 1,5 million of people, and at the beginning of the new century they dramatically reach to 36 million; actually Argentina have about 40 million of people. Maybe this increase in the population of Argentina is for a wave of inmigration from 1850 to 1950.

Chile with a comparative about the world population it's almost the same; first the population slowly increase (this can be explained for world war I and II) and later (1960) rapidly increased to peak an estimated number of 7.155 billion. If Chile keep doing a good work in health politic, and worry about environment health, the population in Chile to 2050 it's estimated around 20 million.
