Why it works
The first 14 seconds turn an extreme claim into a concrete question while a hand builds a globe, and the plain-language promise arrives by 0:21. A simple marker mechanism at 1:33–2:08 makes the data legible before a map-to-storm sequence at 2:11–2:14, the strongest replay peak. Source screens, large figures at 3:12–3:36, and a calmer qualification after 3:41 balance urgency with evidence.
