Thread #visualisingClimate2026
After seeing so much interesting #dataViz work being done by meteorologists and climate scientists, I'm thinking about organizing a conference about climate visualization. I wonder whether this would be something interesting to a broad audience or just to me.
My monthly #Arctic temperature graphics have just been updated through October 2024, which observed near record high temperatures. I'll have more on this particularly anomalous month soon.

DAY 1 of Visualising Climate 2026 in Bologna was a blast! 🚀
A day all about SCIENCE, with one clear message: designing climate science starts with listening, building trust, and understanding people’s contexts. From farmers in Kenya to Sámi communities in the Arctic.

Great end of day session on communicating the climate science and the importance of storytelling literacy.
What a full on day of talks, tools, charts, maps, and inspiring people.

Four hacks for making scientific data click, by @bananafish.bsky.social:
1. Strip away complex language
2. Strip away scales and units unless needed
3. Use relative comparisons
4. Let readers experience the data

Great point made by Samira Hamza at #VisualisingClimate2026:
with melting glaciers and struggling polar bears as icons of climate change, people in the global south feel climate change is something far away, and not their problem
She advocates for localising messages about climate change

How to turn a datavisualisation into an argument, by @zhoyoyo.bsky.social (WaPo Opinion)
1. Identify the question, go for a chart that answers it
2. Make your takeaway the title of the chart
3. Lean into people's feelings by using art, pictures and personalization
