This clock, created in 2015, tells us the time left to limit global warming to increase in 1.5 °C. The high temperature will mark the beginning of a series of catastrophes such as mega-hurricanes, more intense and long-lasting heat waves, extreme droughts, sea level rise, melting of the poles, and others.
Join initiatives such as Sustainable Future ED
to stop this clock!
