Title: Cartography

How do we not have this thread already... did we just fold maps into the Infographic thread?

These Maps Show Our Dramatically Changing View of Earth's Interior (https://earther.com/these-maps-show-our-dramatically-changing-view-of-earth-1820857128)

Very interesting Madness.

Here's a theory since I was around 18. Pulling out oil from the world is very very bad. Here is my hypothesis. Oil, acts as insulator to earth, keeping it cool. Just like radiator fluid keeps a car cool. I don't think it's the emissions that is the cause for global warming, but the extraction of crude oi and the like. I'm no scientist (we all know, just a simple mountain boy), but that is my theory. Crude oil and all other minerals and gases we pull from the 🌎 is effectively taking the radiator fluid out of this car we call the world. Eh, far-fetched? Maybe, but it makes sense to me.

There's a cartography thread about fantasy maps, but I dont think there's one about IRL maps.
