To the editor:
The clock is ticking, literally. In cities around the world, such as New York, Berlin and Paris, giant clocks are reminding us the number of years we have left before climate change stops being a challenge and becomes a sentence, a death sentence.
Over the years I’ve kept a copy of a 2004 National Geographic with the cover of a burning forest that reads “Global Warming, Bulletins from a Warmer World.” I am sure the magazine started reporting on the issue way before then. Other issues had followed with similar headlines, such as “The Big Thaw, Ice on the Run, Seas on the Rise” (2007) and “Cool It. The Climate Issue” (2015).
