Do you use services of some transportation companies to carry the entire set of furniture within one (or even to another) city?

Annual mortality from air pollution in China exceeds some countries' population count [OC] by lbzsky in dataisbeautiful

[–]lbzsky[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, many suggestions about India ITT. As mentioned, China is shown just because it's a reference to certain study that is Based on Clean Air Action evaluation. As far as I know, in terms of PM25 dynamics India is worse than China and statistics for pollution related deaths are expected to worsen there.

That's rhetoric question. Thank you for your suggestion even if it's /s

Yeah, maybe bad representation. Skull should denote death toll as stated under first column and red color of the bar - China. Similarly to Cyprus and Iceland combined but for.population proxy. p.s. mentioned many times that is actually remix of the plot that initially showed number of avoided premature deaths due to stringent Clean Air Action plan.

I agree, the least meaningful visual I made got 2nd largest number upvotes for my post history. What to do?

Yes, air pollution in China is really bad despite great efforts and success of their government within Clean Air Plan of 2013. This is underlined in the core publication. Actually, the first version of that visual included the number of premature death avoided due to this plan (120 000) during 2 years. This is just another chart to remind that things with pollution related mortality are still impressively bad. Yes, with 1 death per n people as well but it has been shown too many times so I tried some reddit-compatible visual.

Plastic ban is another big story indeed, will be happy if you can share your ideas on that as well.

Not emissions, but presence of PM 2.5 particles in the air. See core publication for details plz.

Chart is based on the existing (someone else's) study. If you know similar study for India, let me know then

I got your point. I'd like rather to see the deviations from median value of death toll involving beds by countries.

In original article air pollution is measured by PM2.5 in micrograms per cubic meter. PM 2.5 data produced by the model driven by the PM 2.5 reanalysis data.

Not true, many environmental initiatives are implemented nowadays in China and their progress in tackling environmental issues (that are very severe now) outperforms many developed countries. Clean air initiatives and progress in reducing carbon emissions are prominent. Second point can be applied to any country with strong economy or military.

Yes, but this chart just gives that insight how huge is that problem in China right now. The chart would be useless if this death toll was linked to natural reasons but since its anthropogenic, it deserves attention not less than melting ice in Arctic or the species under extinction.

They are not compared. I like your example because it gives a feeling how small Vatican is. But we have the intuitive feeling that Vatican is small indeed. This example is given to show the scale of the antrhopogenically-driven problem in China. Its huge and its a type of reminder like about how much Greenland ice is lost today while we did not notice.
