subtext: Researchers have utilized the history of colonization in committing a genocide of nearly 55 million people, to prove that the regrwoth of forests and trees in places or in spaces that were formerly populated led to a decrease in total atmospheric carbon. By the year 1610, these changes could be noticed. The shift was approximately 0.15 decrease or 7 million parts per million. The immensity of this fossilized impact of white supremacist colonization is an important recognition of the unequal effect of fossil fuels and mass degradation of the environment on the entire world for generations, while only be caused by the West’s systemization of racial capitalism.

art description: The scientific depiction of oxygen molecules in a covalent bond symbolizes the production of oxygen by the loss of carbon dioxide emitted by original indigenous inhabitants. The scientific depiction of carbon dioxide molecules seeks to recognize the repopulation by non-indigenous colonists. “55 million souls gone” dictates the awareness of the mass death accrued before the publication of this 1650 map, and the “-0.15” represents the decrease in atmospheric carbon dioxide.
