ABOUT CLIMATE CLOCK

• The Climate Clock shows how much time is left before continued CO2 emissions lock in at least 5 degrees of global warming, a key threshold for global climate goals under the Paris agreement.
• The planet is about 1.1 degrees Celsius hotter than it was before the Industrial Revolution due to carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels.
