Climate Change Scoreboard
Keeping track in real-time of the impact of current climate change negotiations
True presence comes from staying present with what is happening from moment to moment. This includes not just what's happening in our immediate surroundings in the present moment, but also expanding our awareness to what's happening in our communities, our nations and the planet.
I've added this page to my website because of my growing concern the effects of climate change.
Here is the scoreboard, which you too can add as a widget to your website by going to http://climateinteractive.org/scoreboard. Below the Scoreboard is a brief description to help you understand how this real-time tool works.
The Climate Scoreboard is an online embeddable widget that allows the public, journalists and others to track progress in the ongoing negotiations to produce an international climate treaty. The Scoreboard allows users to check, on a daily basis, whether proposals in the treaty process commit countries to enough greenhouse gas emissions reductions to achieve widely expressed goals, such as limiting future warming to 1.5 to 2.0°C (2.7° to 3.6°F) above pre-industrial temperatures. A team from Sustainability Institute, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Ventana Systems has designed the Scoreboard to show the estimated temperature increase in 2100 if current proposals within the negotiations were to be implemented. The analysis behind the Scoreboard, based on the C-ROADS computer simulation, is also available on the Scoreboard site, as is a short video about the Scoreboard.
By embedding the Climate Scoreboard on your own websites, blogs, and
Facebook pages, you will be able to follow and share with others the progress
of the negotiations in Copenhagen from day to day, and continue tracking
progress in the months following the conference. As positions in the negotiations
evolve the Scoreboard will automatically update to reflect the changes.
