I really hate graphs without scales, they tell me absolutely nothing.
For all I know that could mean that the sea level will rise an inch in
the next 1000 years and the temperature will rise 1 degree before
stabilizing.

I know that they are just trying to get a concept across but to me,
but a good indicator that someone is hiding something in a graph is when
they omit a scale.
