Some facts and figures and major events

I've compiled some lists of environmental and S&T events (since many of you seem to like these topics), as well as some stats and world conflicts.
These lists are not meant to make you panic...if there are stuff on the lists that you don't know, it's ok. But if you think they are important enough, it will be good to look up what they are (Google them or check wikipedia) or check your lect notes 'cos many of the e.g. are from there as well.

Cheatsheets (no, they are not meant for you to bring into the exam hall. Cheatsheets means quick notes)
