Change map title to remove "Climate impact" #107

Change to "Real-time GHG emissions intensity of the European electricity production", or something approaching.

@brunolajoie suggested "greenhouse gas emission intensity" but I feel like it's a bit more heavy and less "user-friendly" (plus it's in the subtitle). What is your rationale for changing? Is it because it's not precise enough (and we might get criticised)? To me there's a general consensus that CO2eq is reflecting the climate impact. We could instead quantify the climate forcing induced by the amount of CO2eq measured, but that seems overkill to me?
