WHAT FOLLOWS IS A PROTOTYPE. Many parts of this tool are placeholders for data we will add or refine later.

DO NOT TREAT ANY OF THE DATA HERE AS FACT—YET. This prototype is for design feedback purposes only. We want to hear from storytellers and media makers about how to make this better as we think towards finalizing it. Thank you very, very much for being part of this process!

Again, We will later launch a different version of this tool in which all the data is accurate. THIS SITE IS FOR PLAYTESTING PURPOSES ONLY.

ABOUT THIS TOOL

This is a project to create a climate data tool to help writers, storytellers, and gamemakers more easily incorporate climate data into stories that are set in the future. Students might also find this tool helpful as part assignments that incorporate future-facing climate data.

Currently there is a “doom bias” in the way climate data is presented in the media. We hope that this tool will help mediamakers and storyteller see how optimistic climate data can be—optimism that can be accessed if we all put in the work to get to a zero emissions society fast.

If you are writing a story set in the year 2070, pick the that year from the list.
