This map featured on strangemaps.com doesn't really seem strange to me, it sounds like a pretty good idea. "The temperature in the Netherlands in 2006-2007 was more like that of France ten years ago" (www.nrc.nl) The Netherlands is a country that is greatly concerned with climate change because it has a small, low lying, over populated territory. "A recent report by the Royal Dutch Weather Institute KNMI, quoted in the NRC Handelsblad (dd. 31 July), shows that average temperature in the Netherlands has risen twice as fast as the average global temperature." This map displays these changes in temperature in Holland. More detail is provided in this article (Brian may need to translate for us). Providing a similar map showing temperatures in the Netherlands from ten years ago, or another map showing temperatures in from ten years ago France to add even more contextualization for readers.
