Which surprised me that he didn't pad it out more by talking about why it was based on the Northern Hemisphere. (He calls it "an accident of ... location.") I am unsatisfied with the explanation.
The Northern Hemisphere has twice as much land as the Southern. Today 88% of the World's population lives in the Northern hemisphere. The fact that we are North-biased is not a fluke, but an effect of geography.
