Climatic is a data storytelling project that gives users a look into how our lives are shaped by the environment every day. Unlike other data scientists who try to focus strictly on the scientific, we wanted to create a product that allows users to be taken on a journey through time that shows them exactly how climate change impacts them. Through complex regression, classification, and GRU model training, we have made predictions about the effects of climate change while allowing users to test their own theories through various interactions. Using predictive modeling and algorithms, we aim to give users the power to hypothetically mitigate environmental challenges. Our interactions include allowing users to posit scenarios using our Gemini-powered chatbot that may have an impact on the environment, and then getting a visual representation of that impact in seconds. We allow users to be curious and explore how their own personal communities may be impacted. They can see what communities are most at risk of climate disasters and the economic impact that can have on their world. Most specifically, we predict the things that directly impact people most - rent, gas, and electric prices. Climatic provides practical reasons for everyone to care about their environment.
