Letter: Understanding the urgency of climate change (2)

Bill McGuire makes an excellent suggestion regarding a pictorial “Earth Thermometer” in a similar vein to the Doomsday Clock. The danger is that, like the Doomsday Clock, we would hear about it only once or twice a year and become so used to it being very close to midnight that no one takes any notice. (21 February, p 16).

How about making it mandatory to show both the Earth Thermometer and the Doomsday Clock at the top of the screen on every TV or internet news bulletin, or in current event/political discussion shows?
