Earlier this week, we were treated to some lovely unadulterated* sciency data, in the shape of a map of sea level rise in the last 18 years. The story got good coverage in the mainstream media, and an old friend of mine even got quoted on the BBC. Great.
The reaction on twitter however, often ran along the lines of "nice map, shame about the colour scheme".
