Why the focus on China and India? By their own graphic, the Republic of Korea is the country that features the largest number of polluted cities, yet it isn't mentioned once in the article text.
- anu_gupta 10y agoFrom the article "India is also struggling tremendously; the country has the dubious honor of claiming 13 of the 20 slots in the top most-polluted cities in the world. "
- duskwuff 10y agoThe large dark blue segment in the top left, labeled "17.5%", is "other countries". The slices of that pie chart are labeled in clockwise order; Korea is one of the tiny unlabeled slices in the lower left.
- coherentpony 10y agoOh wow. I am an idiot. Thanks for pointing that out. I withdraw my previous criticism, but I'll leave it there so people can rightfully downvote it.
- stellar678 10y agoNah, it's a terrible graph. I had exactly the same understanding as you did.
