People quibbling about whether TFA was written by an AI and why the chart is at the end of the article and what a standard deviation. Meanwhile the planet is simmering.

When the substance of an article is accurate, the best people can do is argue over the presentation.
The article is crap as well as the graph. And the author made the planet simmer even more to produce this crap.
Data visualization is hard, but what do you think is wrong with the graph?
Graphs tell stories and the only story this one actually tells is "29-year high".

It doesn't do a good job of establishing trends and its sample size is too low to discern how significant of an outlier this is.

Actually there is a similar outlier on the bottom of the graph, which suggests the current outlier might not actually be that significant. And that's definitely not the story intended by the author.

Most crap thing here is this species.
