1. Peters ripped off Gall and took credit. Probably.
2. Peters pretended his was the first equal area map (It wasn't. At all)
3. Peters massively distorts shapes which are also important in geography!
4. His claims reduced geography to a false premise- that size is the only thing that matters.

Because the issue of population change is so widely misunderstood, here's a short thread which seeks to lay it out simply.
It explains why there is almost nothing anyone can do to change the global population trajectory, both as numbers rise, then as they fall.

Man fühlt sich mittlerweile, wie das dümmste Opfer eines Internet-Betrugs
Nachdem wir hunderte Milliarden für einen »Herbst der Reformen« gezahlt haben, der uns nur sozialen Abstieg, Armut und Hetze eingebracht hat, sollen wir als Nächstes für »Modernisierung« mit Alt-Autos und Kohlekraft zahlen. 🤔
