[1] [2] The clock is updated every year to reflect the latest global CO 2 emissions trend and rate of climate warming. [1]
[5] [6] As a result, global warming of about 1.2 °C (2.2 °F) has occurred since the Industrial Revolution, [7] with the global average surface temperature increasing at a rate of 0.18 °C (0.32 °F) per decade since 1981. [8] All objects with a temperature above absolute zero emit thermal radiation.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency had issued a 100-page report on global warming and human health back in 1989. [131] [144] By the early years of the 21st century, climate change was increasingly addressed as a public health concern at a global level, for example in 2006 at Nairobi by UN secretary general Kofi Annan.
