A few more detailed comments. I think the visual design of the timeline is very nice. I think it is also interesting to see how things get busier as we move to the right! It will be a challenge to figure out how to represent it visually when there are hundreds of new articles and projects every year.
I agree with Ken's recommendations. For the tool to be widely accepted, you have to pare down the references to focus on what is most credible, peer reviewed, objectively grounded. I would allow the use of "weather" as I found that I enjoyed the historical items at the beginning, but maybe at some point you need to show a "branching" at the historical point where climate engineering begins to branch off from weather modification. --- Fred Zimmerman Geoengineering IT!
