Exactly. Conformal mapping was thought up by white slavers to keep persons of color in bondage.

Oh, wait. It was thought up by black Nubians and was stolen by the white slavers who promptly used it to guide their ships full of slaves to a course where they could throw slaves of the ships to feed the sharks.

Yeah, that's the ticket.

Oh, stop all those number facts, you racist! They are used to hide the fact that the white man stole everything he has from the backs of blacks who invented everything!

Try removing an orange peel intact then press it flat on a piece of paper.
Something has to give! This is the problem that cartographers are faced with. “Something has to give!“
If you’re worried about equal-area representations and insist on azimuthality, use a globe (the orange).
If you’re not navigating someplace and you only care about equal area representation, use Lambert’s cylindrical equal area. There are other choice, too, e.g. Alber’s

Not a basketball, use an oblate spheroid.

They used to starve and die from disease

We feed them

A world cataclysm like a European war and Africa is in serious trouble

What a nonsense article...
Surprised that it didn’t infer that the Earth was flat, also...

Put ALL of North America - Mexico, US and Canada.

Everything they compared is a country to a continent. Only Australia is both.

Apples and oranges folks - they ain’t the same.

I didn’t even read your comment, but yeah, agreed.

And Europe is just a political division of Eurasia. Compare continents with continents.

Agreed

I would like to see the comparision to North America, South America, Asia and Australia.

What I did find interesting is how much of Africa is north of the equator. It kind of surprised me how much of the worlds land mass is in the northern hemisphere

I was there in 1991 when it was being demolished in sections so that it could be rebuilt. Now it is a really beautiful city.

Yep, it was a beautiful city. I was there in early 2001.

I remember we had been in Zhangjiagang for about a week (where the company I worked for was building a plant) and we headed to Shanghai for three days of meetings before heading home. We had eaten Chinese food for a week. (Or as the Chinese call it, “food.”) Not bad at all, but we were kind of burned out on it.

We saw a Tony Roma’s in Shanghai and practically broke into a run, we were so glad to see some American food. LOL

Brother Al, being an Obamoid, (a hemerroid in the rectum America’s body politic), badly needs to visit a proctologist.
