How a small detail in #DataViz can change your understanding of the data. I have these 20 scatterplots for 20 various climate models. It seems that in some models there's a relationship, in other not so much, and in some it's clearly non-linear while in others is harder to tell.
Next, I used a fixed scale for all panels and also added all dots in gray to each panel. Whoa, that's different! Now it looks like each model is representing a different part of the population!

I'm not really sure when @micahflee made his Hacks, Leaks, and Revelations book free to read online, but if it's been on your wish list, now's your chance to give it a read, and if you enjoy it, and can afford to, support the author.

Unabhängig davon, ob Faktenchecks tatsächlich gelesen werden, quält mich die Frage: Wie lange hat man als Redaktion wohl Zeit, einen Faktencheck zu erarbeiten?
