I got rid of the lite.cnn link and replaced it with the normal one, since the full article is actually worth seeing, IMO. It has a relevant video with interesting footage, including a timelapse of the lake drying up, and there are a few other interesting standalone images as well.

More generally, though, the lack of margins seems like only a small inconvenience for big screen users, since you can resize the window to a narrower margin?
It’s really too bad that browser defaults are so bad on big screens. Automatically rendering in reader mode or at least adjusting margins might be better.

I can't on my iPad, which is what I am currently using. But that's not the only reason lite/AMP/mobile pages generally suck as submissions though. When visiting most sites on mobile they will automatically redirect to their mobile friendly versions... but it never seems to work the other way. And when you have been linked to the mobile version of an article on desktop, finding the desktop version is almost always a PITA, requiring you to google the headline/title. Hence why I think we should always link to the non-mobile versions of everything, if available.
The map shown in the link is the scariest part of the article. That is an optimistic projection?

I agree, but putting something like
body {max-width: 1200px; margin: 0 auto;}in the default stylesheet would surely break a lot of websites.
