Carbon Counting gives Big Numbers

New York City’s landscape has taken on an eerie note as Deutsche Bank and MIT launch the world’s first real time carbon counter in the heart of the Big Apple.

The Carbon Counter and “Know the Number” campaign is part of a groundbreaking climate change awareness and education initiative sponsored by Deutsche Bank Climate Change Advisors group with scientific data supplied from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and include all long-lived greenhouse gases covered under the Kyoto and Montreal Protocols (24 gases excluding ozone and aerosols). The Counter, which stands over 21 meters (two stories) serves as a blatant reminder of our continuing damage to the atmosphere.

“Carbon in the atmosphere has reached an 800,000-year high,” says Kevin Parker, Global Head of Deutsche Bank’s Asset Management Division and Executive Committee member. “We can’t see greenhouse gases, so it is easy to forget that they are accumulating rapidly. It will be a huge task to bring global emissions under control and my hope is that putting this data in the public view will spur both governments and markets to move us more quickly to a low-carbon economy.”

The current quantity of long-lived greenhouse gases in the atmosphere as shown by the Carbon Counter is 3.64 trillion metric tons, increasing by approximately 2 billion metric tons per month.

The Carbon Counter Number is available 24 hours a day. A widget displaying the Carbon Counter’s Number can also be downloaded from the website.
