Off-topic for this blog, and yet somehow feels relevant: the gross domestic products of 50 countries depicted in terms of the gdp of the American states to which the most closely compare. Developed by University of Chicago professor Christian Broda. (click to enlarge the image).
At the very least, this demonstrates the U.S.'s extraordinary place in the global economy, and, by extension, its role in the development of clean tech/ renewable energy and the fight against global warming.
Hat tip to Josh Spear.
You framed it in a way that makes it very relevant.

I love how you put everything into context. Keep up the good work, we need this type of communication!

Thanks, lads. Credit really goes to Broda, the Chicago prof who came up with this. But when you think about the economic power of each U.S. state, and then all 50 together, vis-a-vis the rest of the world, you realize we shoulder a disproportionate responsibility for getting clean tech right.

I'm confused about this map. Is it saying Ecuador has a GNP several times larger than Russia, or that Mexico, with a GNP of 1.5 trillion dollars, is slightly smaller than Croatia, with a GNP of around 85 billion dollars?

It's so rare now to see this kind of map version, they are still helpful in some way.
