Why are so many areas significantly more leafy these days?

Because of global warming and the extra CO2 in the air. I'm not kidding, there was some study about that published the other week. Global warming is being great for plants.

CO2 fertilization due to global warming, may be temporary, though, as plants may develop tolerance to higher levels of CO2.

In addition to the above, a lot of environmental regulations happened around the late 70s-early 80s.

e: looks like that particular map is because of CO2 though.

The Falk Land island has caused a lot of tensions Agentina and the continental Europe England, they almost invaded the capital city "Blanca". Thankfully they had Chle's help.

Also, Sambrosio (?) is labelled twice, and Bulivia.

I was hoping for no New Zealand, but I'll settle with that amorphous blob.

I can play most recent games at 1080p medium or high, with the exception of some lousy ports like Arkham Knight. It still almost hangs my Chrome.

  • A map made in 2016 has no excuse for excluding South Sudan.
  • Or for using Mercator.
  • Why color the Great Lakes as water, but not the Caspian Sea, Lake Chad, or the African Great Lakes. Or the Aral Sea, apparently returned to its pre-Soviet glory.
  • The line to the Dominican Republic hits somewhere north of Barbados.
  • Lesotho doesn't exist.
  • French Guiana is not colored when France is, yet Alaska* is.
  • * Except for the Alaskan Panhandle, which has declared independence.
  • * And Long Island.
  • * And all of the islands of Canada.
  • * And Marajo from Brazil.
  • * And eastern Tierra del Fuego from Argentina.
  • * And Tasmania from Australia.
  • * And Hainan from China.
  • * And Thrace from Turkey.

A shameful set of maps.
