things are heating up–350.org

climate crisis, climate change

Scientists say that 350 parts per million CO2 in the atmosphere is the safe limit for humanity.

The United Nations Climate Change Conference takes place in Copenhagen this December. The agreement they craft may or may not have a significant impact on saving our planet.  350.org is a grassroots movement via the Internet to build awareness and “join people all over the world to take a stand for a safe climate future.”

Our planet is dying. Life on Earth simply will not survive in an atmosphere that sustains CO2 emissions greater than 350 parts per million.  It’s critical that our world’s countries reduce emissions to a livable limit.

Check out the 90-second 350.org animation on YouTube and the more recent Because the World Needs to Know.

And visit 350.org to see how you can become involved in the October 24, 2009, Global Day of Climate Action.
