Biostar Images vs text carbon planet climate

Don't upload images when you can just copy and paste the text.

The following PNG image has a weight of 357,000 bytes

https://www.biostars.org/media/images/8be0316c-0f5a-4e5b-a769-1e4d0afb

while the text containing the very same information is about only 1,109 bytes, hence a much lower carbon footprint.
