[RD] Daily Graphs and Charts

[GoodSarmatian]

In 100 years time maybe.

I get the feeling that half of Florida needs to be underwater before people will act on climate change... and maybe not even then.

If Florida get's swept away the typical climate change denier will probably take it as a sign that they've been too tolerant towards sodomy, socialism and race mixing.

btw this is kind of fun: http://wtfviz.net/

Lots of really awful charts!

Why are things like "Lincoln shot" and "first car" in the last week section?

Its hella out of order, the link is far clearer in what he intended.

That's great and all, but was the coffee any good ?

Amazon have a 745% increase in vinyl sales over the last five years.

This shows the results of a new study mapping which parts of the world will be most vulnerable to climate change.

Spoiler :

The map illustrates the global distribution of the climate stability/ecoregional intactness relationship. Ecoregions with both high climate stability and vegetation intactness are dark grey. Ecoregions with high climate stability but low levels of vegetation intactness are dark orange. Ecoregions with low climate stability but high vegetation intactness are dark green. Ecoregions that have both low climate stability and low levels of vegetation intactness are pale cream. (Credit: WCS)

*vinyl graph*

I'm honestly a bit surprised that rock isn't taking up a bigger slice, because I was under the impression that the whole "vinyl revival" thing was primarily an indie/alternative rock (and to a much lesser extent metal/punk) thing. Some of it might be buried in "pop" and "miscellaneous", but still.

I also would have thought that jazz and blues would have taken up a bigger slice, but that's probably down to the size of the second-market in those genres.

Europe looks very bad in this. Contrary to that graph we had earlier with the damage to cities from climate change driven water hazards.

True. Then there's always the unforeseen disasters that have no precedent. It is interesting to note that the desert areas have the highest amount of stability. I guess you can't get much hotter, devoid of vegetation or dryer so they are considered stable areas.

The colour scales seem...... backwards.....

 

[madviking]

yea that's what confused me too...

 

[Cutlass]

It would probably display the data more intuitively with reversed colors.
