- 5. Why did we chose this set of data? What are we adding to publishing? • We questioned whether C02 emissions specifically affects life expectancy • This graphic adds to the archive of scientific visualisations • Pollution is a highly scrutinised and relevant issue in contemporary political agenda. It is becoming increasingly important to Australians
- 6. In which publics does this visualisation intervene? • It is an issue at affects all in society • Political leaders – to inform policy • Theorists – to shed light on previous independent studies
- 7. Strengths of our Visualisation • Strengths Clear visual explaining the relationship between C02 and life expectancy; easy to decipher information Visible breakdown of continents Image is impactful Message is conveyed quickly
- 8. Weaknesses of our Visualisation • Lacks detail • Limited quantity of information • Data possibly out-dated
- 9. Results • Does the relationship actually exist? – Somewhat inconclusive – Further research is required
