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!

Pretty fascinating look at how "Covid changed everything", in 30 charts.

"Decades from now, the pandemic will be visible in the historical data of nearly anything measurable today: an unmistakable spike, dip or jolt that officially began for Americans five years ago this week."
