The Climate Clock, an online tool and algorithm designed to calculate humanity's deadline for reducing global warming, fell below seven years Friday.
The clock, which was developed in 2020 to give a sense of urgency to world leaders, fell from seven years to six years and 364 days, according to algorithm. The tool shows how much time is left to limit global warming to just 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
"The clock is a portable scientific instrument," Climate Clock co-founder Andrew Boyd told Fox News Digital. "It reduces a lot of complexity into a simple, clear message and mission: We need to transition from fossil fuels to 100% renewable energy, and we have seven years to do it."
Friday marks the first official "Climate Emergency Day" when the Climate Clock counts down from seven years to six years, Gan Golan, another Climate Clock co-founder, told Fox News Digital. He added that people worldwide will observe a moment of silence to "mark the moment."
Last week, Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., announced his opposition to major climate bill Democrats and President Biden have advocated for. The West Virginia Democrat pointed to high prices and inflation when explaining his position.
"The public overwhelmingly wants greater action by our government," Boyd added. "But our government is being held back from doing its job to protect our lives and our families. It is being delayed by a minority of our politicians who are being paid off by fossil fuel corporations."

Hold me. I’m skeered.
I heard Los Angeles will be under water in two years due to climate change.
Absolute nonsense. Where is the evidence of this emergency?
The end is nigh…
P.S. GIGO
The Chicken Little Generation.
Okay, so when we pass the threshold can we just give up and go back to our fossil fuel based economy?
I been thru this earth expire ation date at least 5 times now.
Ala “Hot for Teacher…”I don’t feel tardy”
Well, we all died when the ice caps melted in 2005 (Gore prediction) or 2010 (Romney?), so this too shall pass.
When a palm tree grows atop Mt Everest I’ll start to worry.
It’s an unscientific hoax.
Oh, yeah, well THEY say anytime now the only parts of FL that’ll be above water are Clermont, Brooksville and a small sliver of the panhandle near Alabama. 🙄😒😄
Continue to tell the lie until the lie cannot be distinguished from the truth.
They’ve been lying about this for decades, and even though they would never release the data sets they used to claim AGW is real, they continue to insist their “science” is fact.
All of these scumbags need to be put down as you would a rabid dog, IMO. All of them.
Global Warming PING!
The clock of course. Why would it lie?
Are they including leap year time in their “calculus”? Might get a couple more days out of this journey on the Erf.
Tell AOC to take medication to control her flatuance. That will reduce greenhouse gasses by 1/2
We need to transition from fossil fuels to 100% renewable energy
Which is manufactured using fossil fuels.
Can they make solar panels from start to finish using nothing but solar power? I'll let them use fossil fuels for the mining part since battery operated mining equipment doesn't exist. Other than that, aluminum foundry and extrusion facilities must run off of solar. Panel manufacturing facility and distribution must run off of solar.
Betcha it can't be done.
