Judges' Comments-

The concept has considerable merit, but also needs refinement before it is ready for execution. (1) With regard to metrics, or a dashboard, the devil truly is in the details. The world exceed 350 ppm years ago, and will almost certainly exceed 2 degrees C in the years to come. You need to give further thought to identifying one simple metric, or a small handful of metrics, that are both achievable and actionable. The $$s raised versus $$ goal thermometers commonly used in fund raising campaigns are a great example; they provide simple, motivational, actionable information. Please reflect further on which metrics will offer our citizenry such actionable information. (2) Because our challenge is global, not local, I feel the proposed dashboard information should ideally be much more ubiquitous that placed in this physical location, and that. Rather, I encourage you to consider creating a website, with mirror versions in every major language, to display the information. Moreover, the website should enable every other website owner to mirror the information on their website, in the languages of their choosing. Lastly, it would enable every social media user -- in all of the world's major social platforms - to be able to mirror the information on their page. Ubiquity should be your aim. Focus everyone's attention on the right metrics, and it could make a big difference.

I would like to see this project happen yesterday. It could have huge impact. Every school, office, home, cafe, and hospital can have one? It can be installed in a Tesla? On an Apple watch?
Or is there only ONE Climate Change Clock in the world, which will live in an obscure downtown gallery? (Thumbs down.)
Help. I am worried that without a few sketches or a prototype, this proposal is not going to lift off.
Who is the artists and what else has (s)he created? Is (s)he successfully on social channels? What will it cost?
Can this go viral?
