An inconvenient graphic - visual analytics 1不便图形-视觉分析
February 12th, 2007 | by ian | 2007年2月12日|由伊恩|Some graphics from An Inconvenient Truth have been posted to Flickr.某些图形由一不方便的真相已张贴到Flickr 。 Copyright has most certainly been violated here but I suspect Gore would prefer the message spreads and perhaps this will inspire more folks to check out the movie.版权已大部分被侵犯，当然在这里，但我怀疑戈尔希望的讯息传播，也许这将激励更多的乡亲签出电影。
This graph showing a sharp rise in CO2 has generated a lot of controversy, especially because of the extrapolation of future CO2 levels.此图形显示急剧上升，在CO2产生了许多争议，特别是由于外推未来的二氧化碳含量。 For an excellent analysis of the controversy and a discussion about how visualization approaches such as Gore’s slideshow can be used to turn complex data into information, look no further than David Womack’s excellent article:为一个很好的分析，争议和讨论有关如何可视化的做法，如戈尔的幻灯片，可以用来把复杂的数据转化为信息，不要再观望，比国宝沃马克的优秀文章： Seeing is believing: Information visualization and the debate over global warming看到的是，以为：信息可视化和辩论，全球气候变暖 . 。
Excepted from the above:例外的从上述：
Information visualization is able to communicate the intricacies of global warming in a way no other discipline can.信息可视化是能够沟通，错综复杂的全球变暖的方式，没有其他纪律可以。 Its messages can be immediate and powerful, without sacrificing the level of detail necessary to represent the complex subject accurately.其信息可以直接和强大的，又不牺牲的详细程度要代表复杂的课题，准确。 Not only is information visualization helping scientists and politicians communicate with the public, it is a primary tool for scientific study, and for the study of science itself.不仅是信息可视化，帮助科学家和政治家与市民沟通，这是一个主要工具，科学的研究，并为研究科学本身。 It is particularly telling that even the medium of film could not compete with the power of these visualizations.特别是告诉，即使是中等的电影无法竞争的权力，这些视觉效果。 According to “An Inconvenient Truth” director Davis Guggenheim, “I thought, a film about a slide show?根据“一不方便的真相”导演戴维斯古根海姆， “我认为，电影放映幻灯片呢？ A filmed lecture?一拍演讲？ I don’t get it.我不获取它。 And then I saw his slide show.然后我看到他的幻灯片放映。 The information in it is so powerful, and we all just felt like, what if we could give people a front-row seat to this.”信息在它是如此强大，我们都只是感觉像什么，如果我们能够给人民一个前线排座椅，以这“ 。
Wider adoption of visual analytics, while useful for scientific analysis and “misuseful” or easily manipulated for special interests, will at least stimulate wider debate and analysis by increasing the accessibility of data to society (see更广泛地采用视觉分析，而有用的科学的分析和“ misuseful ”或容易操纵，为特殊利益，将至少有刺激更广泛的辩论和分析，增加获得的数据向社会（见 Gapminder gapminder ). ） 。 And this, I dare to believe, will lead to good things.而这，我不敢相信，这将导致好东西。

I take it the usual bastards have accused Gore of presenting misuseful information in his slide show then?我是否可以惯常的杂种指责戈尔介绍misuseful信息在他的幻灯片放映，然后呢？ Aggie and saw the movie at the theatre here in Barbados when it was released. aggie看到电影在这里剧院在巴巴多斯当它被释放。 I thought it was very well done, and thought Gore came across as an honest, well-meaning man.我还以为这是很好的工作要做，以为遇到了戈尔作为一个诚实的，本意良好的男子。 Go figure!去的数字！
