It’s about future oil and gas expansion (FOGE), what matters to the atmosphere is the total - identifying potential threat.
Effectively multiplying FOGE by area (as shown) doesn’t make sense, but neither does FOGE per capita (as most is exported, not consumed locally). I’d suggest just a sized blob for each country - then can show some other dimension with the color.
