2050 is turning into a deadline year for the planet. Scientists predict that if global temperatures rise above 2°C by 2050 (which is a probability) then we will witness unalterable climate change, mass extinctions and sea level rises. Governments have been planning strategies to make sure that a 2°C temperature rise will not happen, but this process has been hindered by international disagreements.
The time capsule contains booklets that simply record predictions of global warming and our methods of combating climate change. When it is opened in 2050, future generations will be able see where their predecessors triumphed and failed. The capsule is buried in the grounds of Bath Spa University, on the slope towards the lake, just down from the Italian Gardens.
