Re:Planet’s ocean-plastics problem detailed in 60-year data set by Junk_Collector on Thursday April 18, 2019 @09:26AM (#19690803)
It's not terrible and it's clearly labeled which is great. It's just that the total numbers are small and small numbers give rise to the appearance of large variance simply by virtue of being small. It's a data set issue and one to be aware of because in other cases it is one that can be used to misrepresent data trends.
