Climate Colors

"How has the planet evolved throughout our lifetimes? Or more specifically, how does our current world compare to the world when we were born? Human existence may be short in the grand scheme of things, but our impact has accelerated the pace of global warming. Looking ahead, it's important to consider how our decisions today shape the future—not only for ourselves but also for future generations."

Climate Colors lets you compare your own experience of climate change to that of other born at different times.

A Projection Joke!

Amitav Ghosh

Came across this concept from Amitav Ghosh: He argues that 'our' existenial fears abour climate change are in-fact Western fears about the looming end of our colonial powers. In-contrast, in much of the rest of the world and especially for Indigenous people, the catastrophe has alredy happened.

The 2024 Submarine Cable Map

The Submarine Cable Map is one of the annual highlights in map making - not sure why that is - but somehow 'seeing' how the continents are connected via submarine cables makes you realize just how interconnected we are. I always wonder how much this network will need to expand once we let AI run much of our lives!
