For us Americans Wallstats has one of the most significant and suprisingly easily readable informative "posters" I've ever seen: Death and Taxes (nonflash image version Here). Linked because the real thing is 3500x2300 so a thumbnail would be useless.
It's a graphical representation of the yearly US discretionary budget arranged in a very self explanatory way. To get you started: Every circle is sized relative to the total discretionary budget, labelled in it's amount and percentage (red for expense, green for income), and the circle itself is a logo representing what the money is being spent.

Outstanding contribution above. Kinda gives me pause to immediately jump into the sillier stuff, so for now, actual beneficial knowledge to learn, be aware of, and realize.

Top Carbon Emitters by woonder In 2007, China made it to the world’s biggest producer of carbon dioxide - the primary greenhouse gas responsible for global warming. Rapid economic growth in China has fueled massive energy demand from burning of high carbon-emitting fossil fuels - oil, gas and coal. Data Source: Reuters, 2007. Our Shrinking Earth Population growth is exerting an increasing pressure on the planet. Number on images of Earth reflects the shrinking size of land per capita (in hectares of land per capita) since 1900 as the population increased. By 2050, the world population is expected to rise to 9.2 billion.

Population of the Dead
(click the image to download the full-size portrayal, only if you want to see it bigger)
by Jonathan Gosier all information provided and detailed by the graphic are taken from sources within the last six months. header (synopsis) from the image: The numbers are highly speculative but are as accurate as modern science allows. It’s widely accepted that prior to 2002 there had been somewhere between 106 and 140 billion homo sapiens born to the world. The graphic below uses the conservative number (106 bn) as the basis for a concentric circle graph. The red dot in the center is scaled to represent how many people are currently living (red) versus the dead (white). The vertical line represents time. The spectral graph shows the population ‘benchmarks’ that were used to estimate the population over time. Adding up the population numbers gets you to 106 billion. The two spheres are then used to compare against other numbers. read more about the speculation, debate and 'carrying capacity' of our world's resources from the source of visualization here.

How To Feed The World
How To Feed The World is a 9-minute film directed by Denis van Waerbeke for an exhibition called 'Bon' Appetit at a science museum in Paris. It’s mainly aimed at kids aged 9 to 14, so the tone is slighty educational, but the inventive graphics and energetic animation keep the tone light and funny, while also illustrating a serious situation.

Should've been a part of the sarcasmgraphic pointing out how many of those infographics were "Art Project" infographics that just confused the reader instead of making things easier to understand as a whole.

infographics tied into each other, based on recent global natural events.
The volcanic eruption of Eyjafjallajökull has certainly had an effect on the landscape of the European continent thus far, as well as its people, but also that of its transportation, and future environmental awareness. rolling updates towards European airport shutdowns, also showing the “projected relative concentration levels of the Eyjafjallajökull ash cloud."

to follow-up my previous post, there is this article:
This Thursday April 15, 2010 satellite image annotated and provided by NOAA shows volcanic ash from Iceland sweeping toward mainland Europe. Eurocontrol, the European air traffic agency, said the travel disruptions that reverberated throughout the world Thursday were even worse on Friday, with about 11,000 flights expected to operate in Europe instead of the usual 28,000. It said delays will continue well into Saturday as the massive yet invisible ash cloud moves slowly south and east. --(AP Photo/NOAA)

Pretty cool but it fails to differentiate between which are "clonal organisms" which grow and die but have the same genetic code and true single organisms.

World Map Of Touristyness
although the above visualization may be difficult to see (though you can always click it to 'embiggen') I think the point gets across quickly, when realizing the title of it. It shows a trending and geographical survey of the world's most popular tourist attractions, with that of the 'hot spots' being denoted by the rising and warmer colors. also, the official word... author's comments: Great places-to-avoid heatmap, using distribution of photos on Panoramio. Nice idea! By BlueMoon.ee -- courtesy of Information is Beautiful

You’re looking at a map of the contiguous United States visualized by distance to the nearest McDonald’s. The map was created by Steven Von Worley, who was inspired by the appearance of a McDonald’s literally in the middle of nowhere, in the Los Angelos basin. Both the map, a larger wallpaper size version, and the explanation for how it was created are HERE. [wired.]
