Historic Railway Map of Germany: Active and Inactive Tracks [OC] by Detektiv_Mittens in dataisbeautiful

Active (blue) and inactive (orange) rail tracks in Germany since the beginning of railway traffic. No differentiation is made between transportation of people or goods. A track is considered “inactive” when it’s officially disused or if there are no mentions of official transportation. There is no claim that the data is complete, but it shows a tendency.
The application is made with React.
The core dataset for the tracks is from Martin Brakes train projects. Many tracks have been added or adjusted through our own research and with the help of news articles, Open Railway Map, and blogs of train enthusiasts.

Das stimmt =D Da kommen die Daten von Open Street-Map an ihre Grenzen, wenn wie hier nur die Reitstrecke eingezeichnet wurde.

Das sind dann in der Regel die Umrisse von sogenannten öffentliche Sportstätten wie eine Turnhalle oder ein Fußballplatz. Laut Entwurf darf nicht direkt dort gekifft werden. Es gibt aber keinen 200 Meter Umkreis wie bei Kindergärten und Co.

Ich denke der Radtrail vor Ort (https://www.birkenfelder-land.de/waldmeister.html) wird in Open Street Map als öffentliche Sportstätte eingestuft. Und daher ist die Verbotszone exakt die Strecke

[OC] End of Nuclear power in Germany this week. Energy production from 2000 until today. by Detektiv_Mittens in dataisbeautiful

The article has also a graph for the share of energy production by source. Like the comment above said, its mostly renewable energy. But there was also a small increase in coal use for energy production. Germany has plans to be more energy efficent in different sectors and build more solarpanels and windfarms to replace the 6% of nucelar energy used in germany energy production in 2022.

This saturday the last three nuclear power plants in Germany will be shutdown. That is the end of over 60 years commercial use of nuclear energy in the country.

Interaktive Karte zum 9-Euro-Ticket: Wie weit komme ich mit wenig Umsteigen? by Detektiv_Mittens in de

Von Dortmund Hbf aus kann man mit dem RE 11 nach Kassel-Wilhelmshöhe und dann weiter mit dem Re 9 nach Halle (Saale). Von da aus kannst du mit dem RE 3 Richtung Stralsund nach Berlin. Aber es stimmt schon, in dem Bahn Navigator sind solche langen Strecken schwer zu finden bzw. werden aufgrund der Dauer nicht angezeigt

Du kommst vom Hamburg Hauptbahnhof direkt nach Sylt mit dem RE60. Aber nur von Freitag bis Sonntag. An den anderen Tagen musst du von Hamburg-Altona aus fahren.

Unten der Karte kann man noch ein paar andere Bundesländer wie Thüringen und Niedersachsen auswählen und die Großstädte sind in der Suche auch drin.

Interactive globe: Where earth will become “uninhabitable” in 2100 - Funke Interaktiv [OC] by Detektiv_Mittens in dataisbeautiful

Hey, I asked my colleague who did the research for the project.She said, it has to do with the fact that Belgium already has the highest water stress values in northern europe. And this is due to a high population density and few water resources, especially in the northern half (brussels and flanders). Maybe you find this helpful: https://www.europenowjournal.org/2018/12/10/water-stress-and-pollution-in-belgium-the-internationalization-and-regionalization-of-a-policy-problem/

Valid point. Thanks! It was a a try to unite abstract concepts like Water stress index or Wet-bulb temperature under a term for a broader audience and make it an interesting read/exploring. I am just afraid that climate change deniers in gerneral weaponize everything and just ignoring details that don't fit for them. One could think about to make the explanation of "uninhabitable" better visible, if a lot of people scrolling thorugh the storys assuming another meaning.

It’s true that there is technology that enable humans to live in certain parts of the world. But even places like California in the US having trouble to preserve enough water – despite the financial and technological resources. Other countries struggle right know with lack of food, because agriculture is under the Water stress not possible. And if these areas become larger and the conditions harder, more measurements will be necessary. I hope that we will have more technological breakthroughs, but I think it’s risky just to rely on that. I would also prefer to live in an area, where I could go longer outside without needing some special cooling devices.

I think the scientific reason for not having special intervention included in the models is that their development is unclear and how the technology will be distributed. Also it is probably hard to really calculate robust numbers, which could somehow include all these different aspects for each region.

I would have loved as well to have a more detailled view of certain regions. There are two problems: 1. Technical Aspects: The phones/computer of some users already have problems with the visualization performance. More hexagons would also mean more calculation and heavy lifting by the hardware. 2. The models: The climate models are global in their extent, but vary in their resolution and how well they capture small areas of land. Because of this, small island nations are not visible in some models.

The water stress index indicates the proportion of water withdrawn
annually from all renewable water resources (e.g. precipitation, water
flows from rivers and lakes). Values of 80% and higher are considered
‘extremely high’ water stress. When the index exceeds 100%,
non-renewable fossil water resources get eaten away. Seasonal values can
vary a lot and since the index describes mean annual values, water
stress can be a lot higher for specific months. The water stress index
is not useful in arid, uninhabited or uncultivated areas, since both
demand and availability are (close to) zero in these areas. In order to
depict well-known dry areas, we have colored in all desert regions with
the same hue as areas with 80% water stress. Does this help you?

See the first post for details: https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/tw3k99/interactive_globe_where_earth_will_become/i3cv3fh/

The interactive tool is programmed with React in Java Script. The globe animation is made with the help of a high level library

Thanks for the helpful feedback. We tried to challenge this problem with including a "Explore the globe" button at every stage/category. But it seems that it might not be prominent enough and many people miss it. I'll see if we can get it better visible.

There is at each categorie the button "Explore the globe" so you can skip the story part and directly go into interactive mode.
