Is this bar chart misleading? Explain
Yes, this chart is misleading because the time intervals between data points on the x-axis are inconsistent. The years 1957, 1958, 1959, and 1961 are not evenly spaced, which can distort the perception of trends over time. This inconsistency can lead viewers to misinterpret the rate of change and the overall trend in the environmental data.
