the CPU used by my computer to display the first half a second of that web page just contributed to Norway's global warming problem
While I find the format a bit cinematic for my taste, I can't help but respect their efforts to drive home the tangible effects of global warming in an emotional way.

I tend to open & read articles on a vertical (Portrait-mode) 27" monitor. The amount of scrolling required to read a single sentence is... epic-legendary :=O Edit: At the same time, my wife, who tends to prefer her phone: "I haven't finished it.. But such a visual treat. Interesting how they did that. Makes it feel very interactive." So I'm clearly just not the target audience, which is fair enough :-)

I'm disappointed by the typical Hacker News folks complaining about the presentation format. This isn't the target demographic, and I applaud trying different approaches to convey the seriousness of these issues. The kinds of people who just want a spreadsheet and a PDF report are already bought in on the ideas. While I find the format a bit cinematic for my taste, I can't help but respect their efforts to drive home…
I wouldn’t be the first to point out that the medium is the message.
