As of 2022, Earth has 8 billion humans. By 2050, the population is projected to grow to 10 billion. In the last 100 years, the global population more than quadrupled. But none of this growth has been evenly spread out, including within countries. This series of 3D maps from Terence Teo, an associate professor at Seton Hall University, renders the population density of six countries using open-source data from Kontur Population.

Recent research has indicated that hops, the key ingredient for beer production, are struggling to adapt to a world in which the impacts of climate change mean more frequent droughts and plagues. These impacts are driving down both yields and quality. They have been giving headaches to the beer industry, and not the kind of headaches associated with too much alcohol consumption.
