Inversion of Graph

edit

Surely the y-axis should be inverted, such that a higher level of concern about the potential for disaster is represented by a larger/higher marker, not the other way 'round! A quick glance at the graph should be enough to determine, intuitively, whether the threat is increasing (which would be intuitively represented by a HIGHER bar/line) or decreasing (LOWER bar/line). -Grammaticus Repairo (talk) 21:28, 9 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Seconded (many years later). It looks upside-down, and, arguably, since it's in minutes to midnight, the numbers should be negative and the graph the other way around by default. --PLUMBAGO 09:29, 30 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
