It’s not everyday that issues related to map projections make it to main page of major news sites (see for instance 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 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equal_Earth_projection  to PROJ, or is it just an exercise in futility?

 

To 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.”
