Here is the global trend, which is similar to the one in the original chart for low-income countries, but not affected (at least not significantly) by the completeness issue in recent years.

Thank you! I'll try to fix this one on our end.
To briefly answer your question: in almost all cases (except if stated otherwise in the chart) income groups follow the latest World Bank classification at the time of publication. So, they are fixed in time.

Thanks @benbarclay.bsky.social and @dvschroeder.bsky.social! I believe the 2023 sudden change might indeed be an artifact. I see for example that data for Syria and North Korea are missing for that year, and happen to have the largest fossil generation among low-income countries.

Good point, but per capita meat consumption is also increasing: ourworldindata.org/grapher/per-...

Mel made a video about the @goodfoodinst.bsky.social, a nonprofit that's building a sustainable, secure, and just food system with alternative proteins like plant-based and cultivated meat.

I spoke about Faunalytics, an amazing organization that helps advocates make a bigger impact for animals with research and data.

Thanks for the feedback! The discrepancy is within the uncertainty. The absolute numbers come directly from the USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries 2024 – LITHIUM Data Release. In hindsight, presenting percentages with two significant figures would have helped avoid an artificial sense of precision.

(Yes, this is my "hello world" in bluesky!)

So, we are just a bunch of humans.
But we give meaning to the Universe.

There's so far no sign of consciousness outside of Earth (and the International Space Station).
Elsewhere, it's all dust, black holes, exploding stars…
The second boring law of thermodynamics over and over.
