From £4.99

The world map redrawn so every country’s area matches the carbon dioxide it emits in a year. China dominates the map, the United States and India follow, and most of Africa and South America almost disappears.

A cartogram: the familiar world map, deformed so that each country is drawn at a size proportional to its annual fossil CO2 emissions rather than its land area. Modern borders.

China emits 12.29 billion tonnes a year, more than the next three countries combined: the United States (4.90bn), India (3.19bn) and Russia (1.78bn). The world total is 37.4 billion tonnes. Alongside the map sit the ten largest emitters and the world’s emissions since 1750.

What you get: the finished poster at 24×16in, 18×12in and 12×8in (300 dpi PNG), a print-ready PDF, and a short guide to getting it printed well. The print option is a premium matte poster, 16×24in or 12×18in, printed and posted to you.
