In your example, it's reflecting carbon emissions.  In other words, how much CO2 that country is putting into the air.  It should generally reflect two things: industrial output (factories, etc.) and affluence (cars and the ability to buy gas, etc.).  Obviously most Western countries (plus others like Japan) will be rather large in such a map, and you'll see that to be true as the US and Europe are rather large in proportion to the rest of the world. jumperchic08 Posted at 2:33 pm on Nov. 1, 2008 read/common sense cienna Posted at 2:31 pm on Nov. 1, 2008 Quote: from Save the world at 2:30 pm on Nov. 1, 2008 Quote: from cienna at 10:23 pm on Nov. 1, 2008 i know that , but why?    i though eastern europe would have more?? No idea. A wild guess would be that they burn more fuel to produce energy and warm themselves. thank you, but i think its cause the west is more developed save the world Posted at 2:30 pm on Nov. 1, 2008 Quote: from cienna at 10:23 pm on Nov. 1, 2008 i know that , but why? i though eastern europe would have more??
