novaTopFlexHype for the Future 40B: Delaware and Pennsylvania Compared
Delaware and Pennsylvania share the status as the two earliest states to be admitted into the then-newfound United States of America. However, Delaware was first, and Pennsylvania would become second. While Delaware was admitted separately and into an independent state, colonial Delaware was extremely linked with and connected to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Although both colonies had been represented through a shared William Penn heritage, Delaware was largely semiautonomous, with the […]

[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]

PomarančMedzi najväčšie krajiny podľa pevniny patrí Rusko s rozlohou 17,1 milióna kilometrov štvorcových a Kanada s rozlohou 9,98 milióna kilometrov. Tieto rozsiahle národy majú rozmanité krajiny, od ruskej sibírskej divočiny po kanadskú arktickú tundru, čo z nich robí hlavných geografických gigantov.

Scientists looked at images from space to see how fast Antarctica is turning green. Here’s what they found
Parts of icy Antarctica are turning green with plant life as the region is gripped by extreme heat events, new research shows, sparking concerns about the changing landscape on this vast continent.

bs2I'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..
