[Vnbiz] (Fix) Re: Watch the World Breathe -- as we smoke it, some might say

[Corrections]

BeLow, of an earlier post, it reads:

In about a minute thirty-four of one run, Stillwater's map guessed 325 folks
bit the big one round the world, 120 new
suckers<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/There%2527s_a_sucker_born_every_minute>lined
up for the Show, by PT
Barnum <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/There%2527s_a_sucker_born_every_minute>,
and another 49,000 tonnes of CO2 were coughed up by folks already here.  See
BeLow.

Those numbers for born and bit it (died) were reversed (my fault): in about
one and a half minutes, BreathingEarth estimated 120 people died worldwide
while 325 were born.

And BeLow was moved above.
