This is a bit off-topic but I feel still appropriate given the amount of blatant #misinformation about the war in Palestine. Here is a visualisation the war in Palestine in terms of its impact on children using A LOT of verifiable references, (see the bottom bit.ly link) #children #childrights #humanrights #war https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fa-cool-guide-on-sixteen-years-of-childhood-in-gaza-v0-qknz9316wlec1.jpeg%3Fs%3D2861b1696774121f2cdd491afc9be2990e6831b1

"All About Climate" is a Youtube channel run by Roshan Salgado D'Arcy - or 'Rosh' for short. He is a geology graduate with an MSc in climate change and is currently reading for a PhD in the communication of climate change at University College London (UCL).

His channel is dedicated to communicating climate science and combating #misinformation about global warming. Because we think that his channel deserves more followers we are plugging it here:

What's the best way to debunk a misleading graph? 📊

A new study suggests that providing an "accurate alternative" is most effective.

Misleading graphs can omit baselines to exaggerate differences and cherry-pick sections of data to hide greater trends. The other methods tested included providing a warning arrow pointing to the issue or an educational or general text warning next to the graph.
