Climate Clock

The Climate Clock is drawn from the idea of the rather depressingly named Doomsday Clock, a symbolic clockface maintained since 1947 by the Board of Directors of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists at the University of Chicago. It uses the analogy of the human race as existing in a time that is a "few minutes to midnight", where midnight represents destruction by nuclear war.

Instead, the Climate Clock will represent the correlation between:

• degree increase in temperature;
• parts per million of carbon dioxide equivalents in the atmosphere;
• images of the predicted environmental and social effects of those temperatures; and
• the time to 2 degrees (widely described as a "tipping point" by scientists) on the current trajectory of emissions.

We are yet to find a designer for this Clock, so if you would like to help, please let us know!
