The climate change clock is ticking
by The Green A-TeamGreen Air Filter:
Outside of science fiction, one rarely encounters a Doomsday clock of any sort.
But it appears that OneHundredMonths.org is exactly just that. It is a website that follows Andrew Simms’s (New Economics Foundation) theory that the Earth has only 100 months or 8 years until the issue of global warming is no longer an annoying harbinger of truth but a world crisis that is beyond reparations.
The science behind this prediction is not as precise and therefore does not hold enough gravity to make such a wild claim. In fact, no one really knows where the line is drawn for a full-on climactic breakdown. And even when the clock strikes midnight on January 2017 and steam doesn’t rise from the ground and cooks through our heels; OneHundredMonths.org brings some much needed immediacy to a world grown complacent of global warming.
