350 – our best chance to avoid the worst

350 stands for 350 parts per million – the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere that leading climate scientists have recently determined to be the only safe target. 

We are currently at 385, and rising. 

Alan AtKisson was one of the 150 signatories to support the publication of the first global ad campaign promoting 350 as a global target in the fight against global warming. That campaign was initiated by the Tällberg Foundation and the Stockholm Environment Institute.

To read the milestone paper by NASA scientist James Hansen et al., providing scientific evidence for a policy goal of 350 ppm, click here:   http://arxiv.org/abs/0804.1126

Some of our members have also decided to become active (as volunteers) in the global campaign to promote the adoption of this new, and far more ambitious, target.  To join the global effort, visit 350.org.

The AtKisson Group has prepared a very short, clear, and simple briefing entitled “350:  what it means, what to do.”
