Oh, and what do they mean by "350?" (yeah, we didn’t know, either.) They’re talking about parts per million, as in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. 350ppm. "350 is the red line for human beings, the most important number on the planet. The most recent science tells us that unless we can reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to 350 parts per million, we will cause huge and irreversible damage to the earth."
