So they’re stacked, that’s it! I was so confused how all countries could be doubling their population, this is such a weird way to present the data.

That is one of the worst charts I have seen in many years. Stacking just makes no sense!
I’m glad I’m not the only one. That presentation of data is so offensive to me, it nearly threw me off from reading the article. There are a dozen ways to present that data better. The way the authors chose is so unreadable that it would even be significantly improved as a text table.
