A red digital Climate Clock in New York City counts down approximately four years, symbolizing the urgent need to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. This threshold is crucial to reduce the intensity and frequency of climate disasters, which are currently escalating. The previous year's temperature recorded an increase of 1.55 degrees above pre-Industrial averages. Meanwhile, global emissions continue to rise, and current policies predict a potential 3°C increase by century's end, which would result in catastrophic climate impacts.
The Climate Clock, installed in New York City, counts down approximately four years to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, described as 'the most important number in the world.'
Global temperatures are rising, with last year recorded at 1.55 degrees warmer compared to pre-Industrial levels, indicating increasing climate crisis severity.
The U.N.'s climate scientist committee warns that every additional tenth of a degree worsens projections, causing more extreme weather events and intensified climate disasters.
Current policies indicate a projected temperature increase of 3°C by the end of the century, highlighting inadequate measures to address the climate crisis.
