    This is cool, good news. However, I feel like it’s dishonest to not normalize the Y-axis on the charts that are percentage-based. To have “Girls in School” and “Protected Nature” occupy the same absolute top-right position is misleading.

      I think this is meant to communicate that we’ve solved or are in the process of solving a lot of problems, and so even climate change can be hopefully fixed. And to some extent, I do agree, since doomerism only benefits those who are continuing to exacerbate the climate crisis.

    The immunization graph actually looks depressing to me. There are people with no vaccination at all in this world?

      The graph is specifically “vaccination by 1 year old”. In remote/underdeveloped regions, I can imagine that many people might not be able to get vaccinated until later.
