For many years, the global climate has been on the rise. If greenhouse gas emissions do not improve, the earth will get to 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit above what it was before the Industrial era. Global warming has already been a major factor in the worsened fire seasons and other natural disasters such as the hurricanes in the United States. Additionally, huge chunks of ice are melting in the arctic, coral reefs are disappearing, and many nations are facing droughts, extreme heatwaves, and some have already experienced the 2.7-degree increase in their weather to add to all of their problems. To help bring awareness to global warming, artists Gan Golan and Andrew Boyd created a Climate Clock that counts down the time until global warming will be irreversible. The time the clock started at was 7 years and 102 days. This clock is positioned in Union Square on a tall building 10 stories high. Its height allows everyone to see it which helps them understand what a big issue global warming is. The artist Andrew Boyd that helped create this clock thinks of the clock as a monument and expressed that, “This is arguably the most important number in the world. And a monument is often how a society shows what’s important.” Some people are looking at the clock as a doomsday clock, but the other artist of the project, Gan Golan, talked about how the clock “is not a doomsday clock” but is rather a reminder that “there is still time, but we can’t waste it.” A clock similar to this one already exists in Berlin and there are plans in progress to put one in Paris. Even though these clocks are saying there are seven years left, it does not mean people can just do nothing for the next seven years Andrew Boyd mentioned, “It’s about taking action right now. Climate change is already here.”
