Climate scientists debate extending chart axes as records break
Original: #ZackLabe #DataViz #DataVisualization #NOAA Jupp. Extend Y-axis -.- #climate #ClimateScience #climatechange #ClimateEmer
Climate researcher Zack Labe's data visualisations, shared with NOAA data, are circulating with a wry note that the y-axis needs extending — a nod to global temperature records climbing beyond familiar chart ranges. The charts illustrate ongoing climate change and extreme weather trends, prompting discussion about how graphic design choices frame the urgency of warming data.
Why now: Record-breaking temperatures keep pushing climate charts past their usual scales, making the 'extend the y-axis' joke resonate.
Rank over time, top of the chart is #1. 3 snapshots from 10 h ago to 7 h ago.
