Climate Visualisations and Podcasts

There are two new Climate data visualisations that I've just been reminded of by Kit Rackley.

Carbon Brief's visualisation.

V proud to finally share this:

How the UK transformed its electricity supply in just a decade

A HUGE effort over >1yr, combining 6 datasets, 1,000s of lines of code, 100s of 1,000s of datapoints & the amazing #dataviz skills of @_rospearce

Enjoy!https://t.co/SXMyu7A15R pic.twitter.com/Q7ZureRugD

Rosamund Pearce and Simon Evans of Carbon Brief worked on this for a year. I love the fact that Rosamund shared an early image showing the idea of the visualisation.

For anyone interested in how I made this interactive, this sketch has some of the details (if you can read my handwriting!) pic.twitter.com/kaRuzznlW4

This visualisation is the interactive map that they produced.



Check this out, then head for the second visualisation, created by the Carbon Brief team. Click on a location and you will see past and future temperature change, and can also download the data as a CSV file.

After a ton of work our @CarbonBrief interactive temperature map is finally done! Browse any location in the world to see how the climate has changed in the past and will change in the future. Data for any location can be downloaded as a csv file. https://t.co/PydQbSuUou pic.twitter.com/0VWflauq1h

And finally, check out this David Wallace-Wells podcast

For ⁦@climateone⁩, I talked with the great ⁦@KHayhoe⁩ about the Uninhabitable Earth, climate storytelling, and how to conjure an enticing picture of a future in a time of cascading change. https://t.co/EpiYaSbbz3
