Good vs Bad Graph


I believe that the above image is an example of a good graph. It shows the units for both the x and y axis, it averages the temperatures which makes it more accurate and makes the data less skewed, but it still shows accurate information. The scale of the y axis is good and is not misleading.


I believe that the above image is a bad graph because the graph's unit measurement of the y axis makes it look like there has been no change in the global temperature. It is a misleading graph and it would be a graph used for people to believe that the Earth's temperature has been stable.

  1. Okay Ryann, this is a good start but a bit "bare bones" for this blog post. It is meant to be an analysis of the graphs, so try to go more in depth.
    -Add information about what each graph is trying to show
    -Comment on how the data was collected in each case, who created the graph and how reliable they are.
    -Add the source for each graph, where you got it from
    -Each graph should have a caption labeling it. "Figure 1, Figure 2, etc" This is how you should refer to them in the text (eg. Figure 1 shows change in global temperatures..."
    -Also, remove any "I believe" statements, just make the statement.
