Hacker News Reader

There age tons of factual articles about climate change. Though it does not interest many people.

Kudos for those guys for trying to tell the story differently in a hope to reach a broader audience.

Well, it is a story. Obviously the medium is designed to engage readers. This is not a scientific paper.

Seeing is believing, i think the UX with tons of pictures actually help the credibility and impact of the story.

I think they choose the right medium for the message.

I agree, this is more of a slideshow than an article, and I don't think having it as an article with pictures would make it more plausible. The pictures tie in neatly with the content in a way that doesn't annoy me as much as other similar experiences have.

It is told as a story, to engage the reader. It is very well presented. Perhaps you can do better, are you a journalist or a UX designer?

Journalists are usually not the ones who make UX decisions.
