In our course, we have been taught to tell stories through our visualization, rather than simply showing the data. That is exactly what Bloomberg Business has achieved through their visualization. Bloomberg has come up with a story telling visualization to list down the various factors which might be the reasons behind global warming. Each screen of this visualization lists on of the many factors, starting from Earth’s orbit, sun, deforestation, to Greenhouse Gases; and shows the effect of temperature of all these factors over the years since 1880 to 2000. All the information is displayed in a very informative fashion with the help of line graphs and trends lines moving along the time line. Also, there is an explanation for each of the graphs mentioning why the developer has considered a particular factor as a reason for global warming. There are also graphs combining and comparing two or more of the above-mentioned factors with each other.
In my opinion, Bloomberg has done a great job in telling their story. The visualization is both interactive and informative. The developers have been able to establish a perfect balance between the two by creating attractive visualizations and also focusing on the main purpose of visualization, which is giving information.
