Modeling the Rise of Carbon Dioxide

Made in 2019 with GSAP, React, and a ton of JavaScript

Recent trends in atmospheric carbon dioxide are brought to life using interactive data visualizations and scroll-based animations.

In addition to a line chart, the same data is presented in a polar plot where seasonal variations fade into the background as year-by-year changes are highlighted.
