The colors here are confusing because the color scale grades the temp gain, but that isn't the information that is claimed to be shown, which is whether or not they are meeting their goals.

I disagree because it portrays whether they are meeting their goals and a lot more information.
Compare the two columns and if they are the same color, they are meeting their goals.
Compare two countries to see which sets stricter goals compared to each other, or is achieving better results compared to each other.
You're right. However, I feel like the left and right columns could've been linked with a gradient to more clearly show their relationship.
I always struggle with colors because I'm colorblind, and grokking this chart at a glance is hard.
Why are any of these countries even allowed to set +2°C, +3°C, or even +4°C or higher as a goal in the first place?! That's not a fucking goal; that's a suicide pact!
suicide pacts can, in fact, be goals
Egypt and Morocco Ws.
The UAE doing the Russian approach: lie through your teeth and play dumb when called on it. No one will punish them for it, so be shitty, no one who can do anything cares.
