This map, from Time Magazine April 9, 2001, show greenhouse gas emissions per capita worldwide. The U.S. is by far the worst offender. The map was produced using a large variety of software. First the country outlines were exported from Geocart and then imported into Adobe Illustrator. Each country was joined into a closed polygon and the six different colors were saved as separate files. These files were imported into Lightwave and extruded. I also created a grayscale bump map with TopoToImage. The smoke was taken from a clip art image and added in Photoshop.
