    2015 looks like statistical noise.

    Statististical is maybe the wrong term, since I din’t think these are sampling based, but small changes in a short period are probably more due to random fluctuations than genuine environmental changes.

    If you mean the curve leveling off in like the 2008-2017 range, I think that's long term effects of thr 2009 recession.
