The EPA said it will stop updating a database that companies use to calculate the greenhouse gas emissions from their supply chains. In July, EPA suspended the database's lead scientist because he signed a letter criticizing the Trump administration.

The database, which helps companies calculate their greenhouse gas emissions, will continue under a consortium that includes Stanford University.

@niko_tinius The azimuthal equal-area projects the sphere onto a disk and preserves area across the projection. You can display the whole planet, but latitudes far from the center get very distorted. The clipped two-hemisphere approach avoids the distortion and fits nicely on a phone.

A cylindrical or pseudocylindrical (in this case Patterson's Natural Earth) projection will start looking real scrunchy at around 600 pixels, but the stacked Lamberts work great down to 300 pixels — as narrow as you'll ever need.

A trick for fitting world maps on phones:. Stack two azimuthal equal-area projections, clipped at 90° longitude, each one rotated 180° from the other. The bottom map covers the top's Antarctica, which reduces the total height and looks nice. As seen in

🦋 The study didn't investigate causes, but habitat disruption and pesticides likely contributed to declines. Climate change may have played a role: species saw larger drops in the south of their ranges, suggesting northward migration w/ temp. increase.

🦋 This is the first study to combine butterfly observations from thousands of surveys acros the country to create a complete picture of U.S. butterfly trends. Of 342 species, 245 suffered declines of at least 10 percent. Read the story here: 2/3
