1/ Hi I& #39;m Brian Jacobs, @btjakes, Senior Graphics Editor in Nat Geo& #39;s maps & graphics department. Today I published an interactive where you can see what climate change will feel like around you and I& #39;ll be explaining the process behind it. https://on.natgeo.com/2K9ZexL ">https://on.natgeo.com/2K9ZexL&q...
2/ I& #39;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).
4/ You can see your location& #39;s climate analog, or the place currently on the planet that represents what your climate will feel like in 50 years. Washington, DC (where I live) will feel more like Clarksdale, Mississippi in 2070.
5/ The interactive tries to guess your current location, but if you want to learn about somewhere else, you can search for it.
You can follow @NatGeo.
