Inspiration
When 1 out of 4 Americans - or roughly 82.5 million people - are unsure of or don't believe in climate change, we have to ask ourselves, what are we doing wrong? If the uptick in intense heat waves, deadly wildfires, devastating droughts isn't a sign, then surely sound science and numbers could work, right?
Well, not if the science and numbers look like a bland grid of numbers. That's why the premise for our hack is to help these numbers come alive by visualizing what we're seeing and pairing the qualitative and quantitative to make our case.
What it does
We showcase science in numbers in different ways.
How we built it
We built interactive graphics using D3.
Challenges we ran into
D3 was a steep learning curve.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We tackled a new technology, D3!
What we learned
A whole lot about D3 and SVGs!
What's next for My World's On Fire. How about yours?
