@Elizafox Yes thanks for reminding, some things got better. As Max Roser puts it: "The world is awful. The world is much better. The world can be much better.
It is wrong to think these three statements contradict each other. We need to see that they are all true to see that a better world is possible."

Ich spiele ja gerne mit den Chart-Funktionen von #OWiD herum, weil ich die sehr gelungen finde.

The 20 year lag is quite something. It tells a story. That's some patience, before seeing the impact on the population at large!

"Smoking was a 20th-century problem. [..] it became steadily more common. By the 1960s, it was extremely widespread: on average, American adults [bought] more than 10 cigarettes every day."

Catching up on #30DayChartChallenge, I guess this one combines the last 3 days themes: #OWID, hazards, humans.
I like how the smoother helps see the overall trend of ozone recovery since the Montreal Protocol was adopted and how the bootstrap confidence interval reflects recent variation. Puzzled/concerned by the low 2020/2021 values, though.

Since I was already making these figures, might as well submit them for the #30DayChartChallenge Day6: #OWID.

CO2 emissions by regions and countries. Made in #Stata using the #treemap package (https://github.com/asjadnaqvi/stata-treemap). One of the hardest ones to code but it's pretty solid now.
