1/ Hi I'm Brian Jacobs, @btjakes, Senior Graphics Editor in Nat Geo's maps & graphics department. Today I published an interactive where you can see what climate change will feel like around you and I'll be explaining the process behind it. on.natgeo.com/2K9ZexL
2/ I'm based at home these days in Washington, DC and I use code, design, and visualization to make interactive graphics. For this project I teamed up with @alejandrabee_ @EveConant (text), @rileydchampine @jasontreat (cartography & data), and Kaya Berne (research).
3/ We wanted to express what the world might look like in 50 years using worst-case scenario climate models. The interactive in the first tweet above is a pessimistic take on climate change, showing an outcome in which we take little action to reduce it. nationalgeographic.com/magazine/2020/…
