Climate Interactive – Thermometer

Today the two-week United Nations Climate Change conference officially kicked off in Copenhagen this morning. The conference is expected to attract 15,000 delegates, activists and journalists from around the globe. Many sceptics wonder if the conference will actually lead to solid agreements which benefit our climate. Climate Interactive made this thermometer to indicate the influence of agreements made these 2 coming weeks and what it would do to the global temperature.

Climate Interactive, a group of scientists whose goal is to make scientific information accessible for individuals, businesses and policy makers, made this thermometer to show the effects of agreements made in Copenhagen on the climate. Through the use of scientific data and simulations they can predict the outcome of agreements and show this in this thermometer.

I always admire scientist, especially the ones who make scientific data accessible and understandable for laymen like me. I hope we will see a positive change in the thermometer starting with good and solid agreements in Copenhagen.
