Summary

The Planet Labs, Vizzuality, and CartoDB collaboration aims to visualize global sentiment around climate change through a social media hashtag `#LoveEarth`, using Instagram posts tagged with this phrase. The interactive visualization displays pulsating blue bubbles around the world, showing real-time responses from citizens. This initiative is part of the Paris Climate Summit - COP21, which brings together leaders to discuss and commit to limiting climate change impacts. The project seeks to unite voices, broaden the climate change dialogue, and promote innovative technologies to address energy issues and mitigate global warming.
