I'll complain even further. What is even pictures of ? And what is the horizontal axis?
I thought the horizontal axis was clear - it's each year. Each row is a decade
Yeah, but what are the pictures? Are they supposed to show the geographical globe or are they pixels of each day of that year or something?
Sure, the overall point is very clear, but it's generally good practice to label everything. It's not that I don't believe the data, it's just... What am I even looking at?
It's average annual temperature for that area compared to the average of 1961-1990.
That's what I was originally saying. The image doesn't TELL us anything, just shows us colors
