Interactives, Apps, and Games
"Staying under 1.5 degrees" refers to measuring temperature in Celsius. If we continue "Business As Usual", we're on track to raise global temperatures 6.5 degrees Fahrenheit by the end of this century, if not sooner. Understood that way, all of a sudden the realization hits us: THAT'S HOT, and it's a lot hotter than life as we know it can survive. We're on a timeline with real-world consequences. Here are other ways to understand climate impacts and climate solutions:
Apps connect you to immediate actions. Games and interactive tools show how different strategies affect global temperatures. See how the numbers change when we implement different solutions. What are the combinations that make the most difference? What solutions surprise you?
There's an app for that!
