[PROJ] Equal Earth projection

[mircea at neacsu.net]

It’s not everyday that issues related to map projections make it to main
page of major news sites (see for instance UN votes to adopt new map that
makes our world look very different | CNN
<https://www.cnn.com/2026/09/04/world/un-vote-new-world-map-intl-scli> ).
Too me it’s very similar to the old Peters, or Gall-Peters projection
debacle. In this context, do you think it is worthwhile adding the Equal
Earth projection <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equal_Earth_projection>  to
PROJ, or is it just an exercise in futility?

 

To quote John P. Snyder
<https://www.religion-online.org/article/social-consciousness-and-world-maps
/> : “A simplistic approach to the problems of map projection can result in
misleading solutions.”
