"Bill McKibben’s climate action group, 350.org has rallied together an astonishing 4600+ events of all shapes and sizes in close to 200 countries to raise awareness of climate change tomorrow – October 24 – in a globally staged call to action."
You have likely seen the number 350 pop up when talking about carbon emissions. The number is key to survival of the planet - it represents the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere that is safe to have if we expect life to continue to thrive.
As author and activist Bill McKibben noted during Earth Month, top scientist James Hansen and his NASA team have stated that anything above 350 parts per million "is not compatible with the planet 'on which civilization developed and to which life is adapted.'" In other words, we need to be under that number, or else. Right now, we're well above it at 387 parts per million, and that's a problem.
