@ChrisMayLA6@zirk.us I still think a simple line graph communicates clearer. I think what this animation provides is mostly distorting drama, due to linear °C in radial direction amplifying the passage of time as 2πr as temperature go up. On the plus side: 1. The annual cycling of the seasons is naturally captured. However, reasonably intelligent people could get that from a gridline for each year on a linear graph. 2. The animated nature makes the passage of time explicit. Again, though, how little education do you need to understand “horizontal axis equals passing time”? The effort is laudable. I just despair. At this point, you get it that climate change is a problem, or you’re probably either a science-denying head-in-the-sand type, or so heavily invested in resource extraction industries that you need people to ignore it.
