It could be misleading the other way too, if the starting radius was extremely large and the increments very small, then it could be made to look like no big deal. But that's the thing with temperature. We rarely start graphs at absolute zero (-273C), so what's your point again?
- veltas 4y agoMy point is if you want to inform people about climate changes, be accurate with visualisations (i.e. don't equate something quadratic with something linear without being very transparent about this). If you want it to not be arbitrary, put some context with the numbers/scale. Like maybe plot temperature changes vs CO2 over time on a linear scale, and compare with changes that led to previous ice ages on that same scale. Or something of this vein.
