XKCD has a long history of citing their work, why can't an effective argument be made with visuals? I don't understand why the medium of the argument matters here.
- thefurman 8y agoThere is no argument made, it's a comic strip.
- JeffreyKaine 8y agoThere is definitely an argument made. It might not be in the form that you're looking for, but the argument is there. The graph clearly points to a high correlation between the industrial revolution and a fast and huge (relative to other changes) rise in temperatures. How is this not an argument?
- thefurman 8y agoYes, very clearly, sure. You don't even know the very basics of scientific methodology, statistics, interpreting data, or critical thinking.
- orf 8y agoIt's actually a graph presented in a great way. Read it
- erikig 8y agoComic or not - what a great infographic
