The bottom map covers the top's Antarctica, which reduces the total height and looks nice.

My students always ask me what they can do as individuals for climate, and here’s what I tell them:

1. Vote for candidates that will do something about climate change
2. Ride a bike
3. Stop eating meat (or at least beef and dairy)
4. Fly less
