I was wondering what was wrong with this graph, seeing as a difference of one degree is pretty significant for country-wide temperature. Then I saw the years on the X-axis. Welp

Welp It is a normal way to represent "warmest years in record" as indicated. However, I completely agree that most people will NOT read it as such, but instead think this is a time-series. At least the axis was discrete - if it would have been continuous (often seen) that would really been poo poo. All in all - picture is relatively ok on my opinion. Temperature is one of those things where cropped y-axis is (usually) ok as the difference to 0 is not usually most important aspect.

Global warming/climate change causing instability (which itself can certainly cause a rise in piracy) is actually something people have warned about for years.

I once almost yelled at a suit at work for making a chart exactly like this for a meeting only to be told "It's only supposed to be representative." That's when I discovered that to a certain type of person, "representative" means "just, like whatever looks pretty" and not, as I had thought, actually representative of the data being displayed.

Next time please ask 'Representative of what?'. I've pushed at managers when they do stupid poo poo and occasionally get them to admit 'because it gets done what we need done, I don't care', or similar. It doesn't change or fix anything but you get to feel smug and right for a bit.

Typically when I point out that numbers are significantly wrong and might lead to incorrect assumptions, I'm corrected and told they are "directionally correct". Years out of school, slackers and dimwits are still trying to squirrel their way out of finishing their homework, and just couching their shortcomings in the smooth wrapper of business buzzwords.

Or, as it's also known as: Marketing. Goddamn those people. Graphs, graphics, what's the difference? Just colours and shapes to put the buzzwords on. They don't mean anything. And yet, despite saving the company on multiple occasions from being laughed at by our customers simply by saying "Hey your poo poo's all hosed up and broken", I'm the one who gets told to ignore the grievously incorrect graphs or I'll get in trouble with HR. Sometimes I can almost forgive Fox News their blatantly misleading graphs because there's a chance they're just being made by marketing people.

I think it's time someone fully committed to both idiocy and pie charts made a pie chart that doesn't slice radially outward from the center at all. It should look like one of those hosed up pizzas. Like this, but with more politics:

Did somebody say Venn diagram Keep Talking and Noone Explodes looked at decades of interface design and technical writing, and purposefully did everything opposite. The Bomb Defusal Manual is a work of art. zedprime has a new favorite as of 20:26 on Feb 9, 2016 |

Maybe I'm straight up retarded but that kinda makes sense. Might have been better to go with the flow diagram though.

It's a technically accurate way to show the information, but it's needlessly condensed (by design). Off the top of my head, a better diagram for clarity in a stressful situation would be a horizontal yes/no tree flowchart E: and i'm an impatient idiot for apparently not reading your whole post

Pretty rad at not being good for a visual comparison of things, I guess. Which, you know, charts are supposed to do. I mean, yeah, you can see large differences easily. But you can't tell smaller differences apart because they're not aligned in anyway to make a visual inspection easy. Not to mention the bars are all just in the geographic center of the state, and not where the actual building is.
