What is the climate countdown clock?
The clock is counting down years, months, minutes and seconds until the planet reaches 1.5 degrees Celsius (7years 11 months) and 2 degrees (25+ years) Celsius warming.
When it reaches zero our carbon budget is depleted and devastating global climate impacts will be locked in: the ice caps are severely reduced and the gulf stream and ocean currents slow down, reverse and/or weaken.
At these lock in temperatures it is predicted that:The ecosystem will collapse and a third of all life on earth will face extinction. Plant growth will slow, then stop. ... The world's food centers will become barren and, within 85 years, one third of the planet will be without fresh water.... If we cut the rate of global carbon emissions while the clock is still running, time on the clock to act would hypothetically begin to increase.

portable climate countdown clocks. NCEA is on the wait list to purchase one of these to be used at Farmers Markets and pop up demonstrations.
