@ren_stats Electricity production in Iceland is over 25% geothermal. Did you just drop categories based on world prevalence and not notice it made this one wrong? The correct graph looks like this: #badGraphs #badStatistics #renewableEnergy #renewables #iceland

@sellathechemist is there a #BadGraphs hashtag? If not let's start one! I find ranting about bad graphs almost as engaging as yelling at clouds at my advanced age.

That graph. I can't even.

The FT has an absurd plot today where they claim that companies with more attractive CEOs (whatever the fuck that means) give lower shareholder performance. They end by saying that beauty is “in the eye of the beholder”. So is the line they’ve put through these randomly scattered points. What a bollocks "analysis"! Perhaps their own data guy John Burns-Murdoch should have a firm word. #BadGraphs #correctedpost
@stlouisfed posted this graph crime over at the birdsite. The psychology of authors of such graphs fascinates me. #graphcrime #badgraphs
