Seems like a bad graph? It feels like there is an obvious sudden upward trend sometime before 2000, the most important trend on the graph, and you cant tell what year it starts! Could be 80's could be 90's. Idk maybe I'm missing something or lacking some graph display info.

I think the graph runs from 1950 to 2025, with gridlines every 25 years. The upward trend looks to be around 3/5ths of the way between 1975 and 2000, which would be around 1990.
