Our Visualisation
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
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
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
Weaknesses of our Visualisation
• Lacks detail• Limited quantity of information• Data possibly out-dated
Results
• Does the relationship actually exist?– Somewhat inconclusive– Further research is required
