Carbon Brief: A few graphics from the summer
Holiday and long term projects have been the order of the day for the summer months but I have had the chance to make a few news graphics.
This graphic, part of Carbon Brief's extensive solar power myth debunk, was made using the hexagoniser code I wrote way back in March
This second map is a remake of a graphic included in a paper Climate extremes, food price spikes, and their wider societal risks. The authors shared the code and data allowing us make a nice crisp self contained version. I usually balk at putting so much text in a graphic but here I thought it merited lumping it all together in a sharable blob. The map by itself doesn't really say much and the text is a fairly dry list but together they paint a picture of spreading food instability.
Here's the original piece. Also: My former colleagues at the FT took a similar approach to the same map
There were the usual line charts and bar charts too. I've done a poor job of keeping track but here are couple I worked on that were still on my desktop at time of writing:
These never seem substantial enough to merit their own posts but my hope had been to make this blog at least nearly comprehensive so perhaps more shorted posts are in order.
