I like it a lot!

Though, I would like to share some feedback:

- Many visulization would benefit from adding an optional logarithmic scale. Or at least "per capita".

- While I love the interactivity, and other features (downloading CSV data, etc), I think the design (colors, edges, etc) would benefit from some polish.

Yes, there is already a log scale in there but it's a bit hidden. You can click the 'Options' in the 'How' section and change the scale. I've also thought about a per capita option (which would be pretty straight forward for sets where I have the population) so that if say someone puts the total amount of carbon emission in there by country it would be an option to convert that per capita. If only I had more time in the day :)

There seems to be a lot of feedback on updating the design. Perhaps I should move that up the priority list!

I would agree with that feedback. The actual visualization is one of the coolest things I've seen in a while, and it makes the UI's slightly less-than-cool design really stand out.

Thanks for that confirmation.
