Remember when #DonaldTrump wanted to acquire #Greenland by force if necessary because it was so huge (one of his reasons)? Well, this stems from a common mistake due to using the #Mercator projection. 55 countries in the African Union now voted to replace it with the Equal Earth projection, created in 2018 by Bojan Šavrič, Bernhard Jenny, and Tom Patterson

Könnte es sein, dass #Trump auf eine Karte geschaut hat und #Grönland für größer hält, als es ist, weil das in der üblichen #mercatorprojection so riesig wirkt?

Does this mean Australia could be next in trouble? 🤔 #USPol#AusPol #MercatorProjection

Please stop using the #mercatorprojection unless you don't care about misinformation.

Zunehmender Protest gegen die Mercator-Karte

Stattdessen wird die Verwendung der Equal Earth Projection gefordert.

Die Projektionen sind ja nicht einfach der Versuch einer Quadratur des Kreises, sondern quasi der Quadratur einer Kugel 😅 …da sind Kompromisse gefragt.

yay! ban the #MercatorProjection! It's not true what they say about #google no longer using #Mercator as a default. If I open google maps (on a chromebook) I get Mercator. Easily identified by the fact that Greenland looks larger than South America, which it isn't.

Sure that Alaska is half the size of the continental US? #mercatorprojection

But of course your point is very correct still!

@CNN - you should not use the #MercatorProjection when you discuss #Greenland. This is quite misleading visually in terms of land area.
