I like the facts-based graphs, with multiple data-collecting sources. However, I think somewhere among these graphs should be some kind of 'speculative' graph that shows potential remedial efforts impacts on one or more graphs. Even something as simple as a "when we are gone" graph that predicts what would occur if all industrial, agricultural processes stopped... just so people can see what is the realistic asymptote of moderating conditions we can expect, under an extreme condition. Or, perhaps, put in a more optimistic tone, a 'magical-antimatter-grid-power-source-without-co2' scenario.

The IPCC has many of these, for example here: https://www.ipcc.ch/sr15/graphics/ https://www.ipcc.ch/sr15/graphics/ The older reports have even more of them. I find this one especially informative: https://www.ipcc.ch/site/assets/uploads/2018/02/FigSPM-10.jpg https://www.ipcc.ch/site/assets/uploads/2018/02/FigSPM-10.jp... There is historical data and the results for different emission pathways (timelines of human emissions).
