There is still time to avert climate disaster, but only if we take bold, immediate action The Climate Emergency is here. The next 7 years is our only opportunity to make changes to avoid raising global temperature above 1.5ºC, a point of no return that science tells us will make the worst climate impacts likely inevitable. You can make a difference today by offsetting your carbon footprint, planting trees and reducing your carbon footprint. The DEADLINE on the clock alerts us to the critical time window we have left to take the action to combat climate change.
