We will begin beta testing the 2°C Climate Sensor very soon! Be sure to sign up for our newsletter at www.2DegreesC.org for updates.
Most people think that we know all there is to know about climate, but the truth is that we know very little about how climate change is affecting areas at a local level, and this is especially true of wild areas and the species that live there. There simply is not enough climate data being generated at a local level. This puts important plant and animal species at risk and slows our ability to design and implement effective climate strategies to help conserve and protect our natural areas from the climate crisis.
The 2°C mission is to build a global community of citizen scientists by implementing a low-cost network of mobile climate observing platforms that can fit in your hand, so that you can help these areas by collecting climate data just by visiting the places you already go to, and collecting temperature and relative humidity you experience while you are there. These critical data will allow for a significantly clearer picture to unfold of the area where the data are collected, allowing scientists and land managers to make effective decisions, strengthening research and conservation.
