rdf:langString the Climate Clock reaches zero

rdf:langString The Climate Clock is a graphic to demonstrate how quickly the planet is approaching 1.5 °C of global warming, given current emissions trends. It also shows the amount of CO2 already emitted, and the global warming to date. The Climate Clock was launched in 2015 to provide a measuring stick against which viewers can track climate change mitigation progress. The date shown when humanity reaches 1.5°C will move closer as emissions rise, and further away as emissions decrease. The clock is updated every year to reflect the latest global CO2 emissions trend and rate of climate warming. As of June 2022, the clock counts down towards late July 2029. On September 20, 2021, the clock was delayed to July 28, 2028, likely because of the COP26 Conference and the land protection by indigneous peoples. The clock is hosted by Human Impact Lab, itself part of Concordia University. Organisations supporting the climate clock include Concordia University, the David Suzuki Foundation, Future Earth, and the Climate Reality Project. There are 9 years, 19 weeks, 3 days, 19 minutes and 26 seconds until the Climate Clock reaches zero (approximate). (refresh)
