Calvin Beisner<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By now practically everyone who follows news and commentary about climate change has seen graphs of global warming over the past century or more.

More recent data generally are communicated similarly\u2014and it\u2019s not hard to understand why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here, solid bars, one for each year, depict the change in global average temperature (depicted as anomalies, i.e., departures, from the 20<sup>th<\/sup>-century average), and the psychological impact is predictable: fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How? Bars in the early years, below the average, are a comforting blue; later bars, above average, are an alarming red. If all the bars were the same color, the psychological impact of the different colors would be lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the color choices aren\u2019t all. They\u2019re just the most obvious. Another choice is less obvious, and readers unfamiliar with how to interpret graphic representations (or misrepresentations) of data are likely not to notice it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ominously, the longest blue bars reach almost to the bottom of the graph, and the longest red ones almost to the top. Why? Because the vertical axis chosen (and note that word\u2014it\u2019s a definite choice) covers only from -0.5\u00b0C to +1.0\u00b0C (-0.9\u00b0F to +1.8\u00b0F). A grand total of 1.5\u00b0C (2.7\u00b0F).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the one hand, this is quite defensible. Enter the raw numbers into common spreadsheet software, tell it to produce a bar graph, and that, or something very close to it, is what you\u2019ll get. And why not? After all, it accommodates all the numbers, lowest to highest. What more can we ask?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the other hand\u2014if your intent is to help people think reasonably about changing global temperature, it\u2019s utterly indefensible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why? Because it makes a temperature variation of under 1.5\u00b0C (2.7\u00b0F) look, to the unpracticed eye, far more significant than it is. After all, most people hardly notice if a room\u2019s temperature rises or falls that much. But on this vertical scale, the longest red bars reach almost to the top, as if to say, \u201cWe\u2019re about to reach the maximum!\u201d True, the longest blue bars also reach almost to the bottom, which could be interpreted, \u201cWhew! We just barely missed freezing!\u201d (And since cold snaps kill, on average, 10 to 20 times as many people per day as heat waves, that should be really comforting\u2014but I digress.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But remember, blue\u2019s a comforting color; red routinely means \u201cdanger!\u201d That, after all, is why United Nations Secretary-General Ant\u00f3nio Guterrez called the first volume of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change\u2019s&nbsp;<em>Sixth Assessment Report<\/em>&nbsp;\u201ccode red for humanity,\u201d not \u201ccode blue\u201d (though, admittedly, in a hospital \u201ccode blue\u201d denotes a critical status of a patient\u2014but that\u2019s not common lingo).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And since most people read from left to right, the graph subtly communicates that, whatever risks might have come with those low temperatures, we\u2019ve left them far behind. No need to worry about them now. It\u2019s those high temperatures, marching inexorably upward, that we need to worry about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Back in the early 1990s, when I was managing editor of the book&nbsp;<em>The State of Humanity<\/em>, its general editor, the late economist and statistician Julian L. Simon, legendary for his antipathy to misleading statistical graphs, insisted that all graphs of the data provided by the 58 authors (including 8 Nobel Prize winners) use a realistic, objective scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, graphs of data expressed as percent should have a vertical scale of a full 100 points\u2014otherwise, the result could be highly deceptive. After all, if the vertical scale only went from 80% to 90%, a data point of 86% could appear to depict a quantity twice as high as 83%, when in reality it\u2019s only 3.6% higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another example: Graphs of data that don\u2019t depict percents should have a zero baseline. Or, if they depict both negative and positive data, the vertical axis should stretch equally far below and above zero, so the relative magnitudes would be quickly and easily comprehensible. Or, if they depict data so enormously different that low numbers just disappear, they should be drawn with exponential scales\u2014and that fact should be communicated prominently\u2014or with clearly marked discontinuities along the vertical axis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are other examples, but you get the point. One of the basic principles is that the vertical axis should cover a truly significant range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s the bigger problem with NOAA\u2019s famous graph. As we saw above, it makes a very small change in temperature appear much larger and more significant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A more appropriate, less misleading, way to graph the same temperature data is to use a vertical range that\u2019s fairly typical of the weather people commonly experience. That\u2019s a scale they\u2019ll understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the United States, except when air currents rapidly move a much warmer (or cooler) air mass from one locale to another, diurnal (daytime high to nighttime low) temperature range is typically around 5.6\u00b0C (10\u00b0F) in humid locales but around 22.2\u00b0C to 27.8\u00b0C (40\u00b0F to 50\u00b0F) in arid to semi-arid locales. In other words, people are accustomed to those temperature ranges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It would seem reasonable, then, to depict global temperature anomaly data on a vertical scale of, say, halfway between the low and high ranges, i.e., 16.7\u00b0C (30\u00b0F). And, to complete our avoidance of psychological scare tactics, we\u2019ll jettison the color scheme and use a neutral color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How would NOAA\u2019s data for 1880 to 2016 look depicted that way? Like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"723\" height=\"476\" data-attachment-id=\"338120\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/?attachment_id=338120\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/0image002.webp?fit=2092%2C1377&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2092,1377\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"0,image002\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/0image002.webp?fit=723%2C476&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/0image002.webp?resize=723%2C476&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-338120\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/0image002.webp?resize=1024%2C674&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/0image002.webp?resize=300%2C197&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/0image002.webp?resize=768%2C506&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/0image002.webp?resize=1536%2C1011&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/0image002.webp?resize=2048%2C1348&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/0image002.webp?resize=1200%2C790&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/0image002.webp?w=1446&amp;ssl=1 1446w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 723px) 100vw, 723px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember, this depicts exactly the same data depicted in NOAA\u2019s graph. Does it look scary? No, but it\u2019s a much more honest, objective, non-manipulative depiction of the data. So, now you\u2019re equipped not to be manipulated\u2014and to enlighten your friends and neighbors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Defenders of the scary way to depict the data could respond, \u201cBut the fact is that this apparently slight change in global average temperature will, if it continues at scale, cause devastating changes in weather, sea level, crop production, and other measures\u2014changes that will impoverish humanity and possibly even bring about its extinction. So scary depiction of scary facts is just what we need.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change disagrees\u2014firmly and adamantly. Its 2018&nbsp;<em>Special Report on Global Warming of 1.8\u00b0C<\/em>&nbsp;concludes that if we do nothing to slow greenhouse gas-induced warming, the warming will make gross world product (GWP) in 2100 will be 2.6 percent lower it otherwise would be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What would it otherwise be? The Center for Global Development says economic growth through the remainder of this century is most likely to be about 3 percent per year. After factoring in change in population, the result would be GWP per capita 8.8 times what it was in 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When poverty is a far greater threat to human health and life than anything related to climate and weather, can anyone think that\u2019s a catastrophic result?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you spend much time at all on social media sites on which people often post text or pictures meant to make points about controversial issues, you\u2019re bound to have seen \u201cfact checks\u201d stating that a post conveyed \u201cfalse or misleading information\u201d because it was \u201cmissing context.\u201d (That\u2019s a judgment that\u2019s often subjective and driven by the \u201cfact checker\u2019s\u201d ideology, but we can ignore that for now). What you now know is that, when it comes to \u201cmissing context\u201d about climate change, official government agencies can be among the worst offenders, not just on social media but also on agency websites\u2014from which their products, like the NOAA graph evaluated here, regularly make their way into scientific journals and mainstream media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Google image search July 11, 2024, found NOAA\u2019s graph at about 100 sites. Where are those \u201cfact checkers\u201d when we need them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>E.
