This HTML5-powered website was built by CNN to recognise the recent mark the COP17 climate change conference in Durban.
An online visualisation consists of an interactive 3D globe populated with plants and vegetation. The site tracks every new tweet tagged with the hashtag #COP17 and feeds it into a visual tree that represents that specific topic or discussion. Each tweet added causes the tree to grow a little more.
The overall effect is a fascinating real-time view of the global climate change discussion taking place around the world.
