If you are ever wondering how many tons of of greenhouse gases are pumped into the atmosphere a new carbon counter in New York City will tell you.

Science Insider reports:

"A new attraction debuted outside Madison Square Garden.... : a 20-meter-tall billboard that flashes the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The current number is 3.6 trillion metric tons, and is rising by about 2 billion a month. The sign is run by Deutsche Bank, which manages $4 billion in investments related to climate change."
