    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.

        Even if we ignore the fact it is talking about emission goals, but the metrics are in celcius. A good graphic would include an indication that they’re meeting their goals. Either having two groupings or an additional column to provide a quick way to see that information.
