Recreate the "Climate spiral" animation in p5.js #1789

Closed ABohynDOE closed 1 year ago

ABohynDOE commented 1 year ago

NASA published the climate spiral animation here that showcases the difference in monthly temperature compared to the average temperature of the period 1950-1980 and I think it is both alarming and beautiful! In the animation, positive differences are shown in red, while negative differences are in blue. The dataset with the monthly temperature change is available as a CSV file here, and I think it would be a simple yet beautiful coding challenge !

I love this idea, thank you for the suggestion! Maybe I can plan it for Earth Day? (Quite busy now with the Nature of Code book and new Processing tutorial series)

ABohynDOE commented 1 year ago

Oh yes what a great idea ! Doing it on Earth day would be even more meaningful 🤗

shiffman commented 1 year ago

Just a quick FYI that I recorded this today and if all goes well it'll come out on Earth Day!
