Why I Built This: Climate change messaging is often overwhelmed by dense statistics, doom-scrolling headlines, and abstract charts that feel disconnected from reality. I wanted to design a lean-forward, interactive experience that approaches the crisis with a quiet, poetic urgency.
The Concept: Trees are nature's honest narrators; every ring and scar keeps a meticulous diary of the climate it lived through. +1.5°C(+2.7°F) translates complex global mean surface anomalies into a simplified, interactive growth model.
Key Features:
Interactive Thermal Scale: A fluid drag panel that lets users physically push the global temperature baseline up to +5.0°C(+9.0°F) and watch the tree’s height and trunk diameter dynamically respond.
Dynamic Soundscape: An immersive audio layer that shifts from a living, rustling forest to a stark, brittle silence as the temperature climbs.
The 2100 Horizon: An automated timeline feature that drives the user toward the turn of the century the definitive benchmark for modern climate modeling.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on the interaction flow! Cheers!
