The world population is 6 billion and 95 million babes are born every year.
That makes 3 babes per second!
In 1750 there was 791 million people in the world.

Started data for 3rd chart.
Had to change QuadrillionBTUs to GigaWatts using this formula:
(BTU*10^15)*(1055.056 J )/31536000 = W
W/1000000000 = GW

More data for 3rd chart.
Oil makes the most amount of power for our planet.
Geothermal, Solar, & Wind makes the least amount of power for our planet.

Population chart description:
The world population has generally increased over time. It wasn't till the 50s the population started booming, with better medicine and treatment, people started to live longer. Asia is the main example of this; right now Asia is skyrocketing with population. The other continents has grown and leveled out. Africa started skyrocketing in the 50s because of the better treatment Africans started getting. Today Africa still suffers problems with disease and population. North America and South America generally grew over time. Europe started leveling out due to room. The problem with Asia skyrocketing is they are burning up resources. People worry the population will start decreasing because of loss of resources.

Atmosphere gases chart description:
This chart shows what types of gases are in our air. Nitrogen takes up most of our atmosphere not oxygen. Nitrogen takes place in 78% of our atmosphere. Oxygen takes place in 21% of our atmosphere. Then Argon takes 1% of our atmosphere. The rest of the atmosphere (which is 0.4%) is made of smaller gases. The big one, carbon dioxide, takes place in 0.045% of our atmosphere. This may seem small but, it has big impact and our atmosphere. Before the Industrial Revolution, the percentage was 0.035%. Carbon dioxide occurs naturally in the environment in cycles, there'll be years that it would be high and years that it will be low. Then we affected the cycle with pollution. The rest of the gases include neon, helium, methane, krypton, hydrogen, nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide, Xenon, ozone, nitrogen dioxide, iodine, and ammonia. Ozone has depleted where carbon dioxide taken its place.

Power Consumption Chart description:
This chart shows how much of each type of power the world consumed that year. Petroleum is the most consumed because of the energy you can get off of it. Coal and gas were on the same level for most years, then in the 2000s new coal digging areas was found and gas steadily continued. Coal has been running low in recent years though. Hydroelectric power is steadily growing. Nuclear power started in the 60s and started booming in the 80s. It is on the same level as hydroelectric now but, with the recent nuclear disaster in Japan, the people don't want nuclear power anymore. It is expected to decrease in the following years. The final type of power we use is a combination of green energy. This includes geothermal, waste, solar, wind, wave, and tidal. Green energy appeared in the 80s and been expanding ever since but, it is still on a lower level than the more favorable petroleum, coal, and gas.
