There is a line. All “NCAA Tournament” statistics from before the field expanded to 64 teams are not applicable to the modern format.

From the 1940s to the 1970s there were only 16 teams invited and much of that time the NCAA tournament was not even the most prestigious, that would have been the NIT. To “make a final 4” during that era required 2 wins (your home building in most cases) vs 4(+) in modern times.

Yeah... but it would take me at least 120 years to clean up the dataset! The 29 year range was used very much out of convenience, because Climate Watch's dataset (with sector splits) only goes back to 1990.

I think the country-level story is pretty similar though for long-term emissions, at least based on Our World In Data and/or Carbon Brief (which Gabrielle Merite uses in her iconic emissions bars).
