Mercator Misconceptions - Clever Map Shows the True Size of Countries [Especially In High Latitudes]

[note the ‘true’ size of high latitude landmasses like Greenland and Canada (and Russia as well); note also that the Mercator Projection was not / is not a ‘tool of colonialism’, geopolitics or the like, it was/is ‘simply’ a very clever projection to aid in marine navigation]

I've been re-working a visualization based on lines in #BrettWalker's #ToxicArchipelago. His 1994 data suggested that Japan poured 33x per unit area the over the amount poured by the USA. Down to 17x with recent data!! The code is clunky as as I reacquaint with #RacketPlot and see what I want to do at the same time. After comparing #CementProduction with #LandArea, let's see a Population comparison too. And compare Japan with Germany, and look into Incinerators..
