Red indicates a higher average temperature than the previous year; blue the opposite.

    I’d just have thought they had some absolute scale going. It’s a relative scale. This can lead to wildly wrong conclusions. Not in this case as the message would be the same mostly, but still.

      Relative scale is worse. Not only that the temperatures keep going up and aren’t a fixed “red”, but that there’s few to no blues now, meaning it’s always going up everywhere. And this is actually a more calming way to present it that the usual exponential spike chart.
