What does the number 350 mean?

350 is the most important number in the world—it's what scientists say is the
safe upper limit for carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Two years ago, after leading climatologists observed rapid ice melt in the
Arctic and other frightening signs of climate change, they issued a series of
studies showing that the planet faced both human and natural disaster if
atmospheric concentrations of CO2 remained above 350 parts per million.

Everyone from Al Gore to the U.N.’s top climate scientist has now embraced
this goal as necessary for stabilizing the planet and preventing complete
disaster. Now the trick is getting our leaders to pay attention and craft
policies that will put the world on track to get to 350.

Is 350 scientifically possible?

Right now, mostly because we’ve burned so much fossil fuel, the atmospheric
concentration of co2 is 390 ppm—that’s way too high, and it’s why ice is
melting, drought is spreading, forests are dying. To bring that number down, the
first task is to stop putting more carbon into the atmosphere. That means a very
fast transition to sun and wind and other renewable forms of power. If we can
stop pouring more carbon into the atmosphere, then forests and oceans will
slowly suck some of it out of the air and return us to safe levels.

Is 350 politically possible?

It’s very hard. It means switching off fossil fuel much more quickly than
governments and corporations have been planning. Our best chance to speed up
that process will come in December in Copenhagen, when the world’s nations meet
to agree on a new climate treaty. Right now, they’re not planning to do enough.
But we can change that--if we mobilize the world to swift and bold climate
action.

What is the day of action?

On October 24, the International Day of Climate Action will cover almost
every country on earth, the most widespread day of environmental action in the
planet’s history.

There will be big rallies in big cities, and incredible creative actions
across the globe: mountain climbers on our highest peaks with banners,
underwater demonstrations in island nations threatened by sea level rise,
churches and mosques and synagogues and ashrams engaged in symbolic action, star
athletes organizing mass bike rides--and hundreds upon hundreds of community
events to raise awareness of the need for urgent action.

Every event will highlight the number 350--and people will gather at some
point for a big group photo depicting that all important message. At 350.org,
we'll assemble all the photos for a gigantic, global, visual petition.

The thousands of events on October 24 will drive 350 and all that it
represents into the human imagination, and change the negotiating environment as
we head towards the crucial UN Climate Negotiations in Copenhagen in December of
2009. Copenhagen may well be the pivotal moment that determines whether or not
we get the planet out of the climate crisis, and your actions on October 24 will
help our leaders realize we need a real solution that pays attention to the
science.

How will this make a difference?

October 24 has finally put the focus where it needs to be: on the science and
the citizens, not the special interests and the backroom deals.

People have sent in thousands of images of citizens gathering at important
places around the world—from the melting peaks of Mt. Everest to the sinking
beaches of the Maldives—displaying the number 350 in a creative way. 350.org
staff will display these photos on the big screens in Times Square and
projecting them at the UN headquarters. Those photos are appearing in newspapers
large and small—the same newspapers that politicians all over the world use as a
barometer of public opinion. We're also delivering copies of the images—and the
stories that go with them—to national delegates, environment ministers, and
heads of state the world over.

But more importantly, grassroots global action will be useful to put pressure
on the huge UN Climate meeting in Copenhagen. Together we can remind our leaders
that they need to take physical reality—and not political expediency—into
account when they're making decisions about our collective future. 350 is a
clear and specific goal (unlike vague demands to "stop global warming") that
helps move the negotiations in the direction science and justice demand. We'll
make sure your voice is heard, and this debate is re-framed in time to make a
difference.

Chinese and American Citizens: Ready for Action

By Jamie

• 17 November, 2009 - 09:50

As President Obama is wraps up his trip to China today, he and President Hu
should be looking at Chinese and American civil society for an example of how
their countries can work together in tackling the climate crisis. On the 350
International Day of Climate Action, over 300 events took place in China
along with nearly 2,000 across the United States, making October 24 the largest
day of climate action either country had ever seen.

It's clear that the US and Chinese public are ready for climate action.
Now, it's time for our leaders to step it up. In case they needed some extra
inspiration, here's a slideshow of October 24 photos from both countries:

President Obama's trip was an incredible opportunity to foster a new
partnership between the US and China based on building a clean energy
economy that can tackle the climate crisis. The past few days have seen a few
small steps in that direction including announcements
about a joint clean energy research center, agreements on energy efficiency, and
some good words (at least) about China and the US working together in
Copenhagen to make progress on a "comprehensive agreement."

But as many of us know, the time for small steps is over. The International
Energy Agency -- which provides the data which many countries and top
businesses use to shape their energy policy and investments -- estimates that
every year we delay tackling climate change will cost the world $500
billion. If we wanted small steps, Chinese and US citizens would
have organized 10 or 20 rallies on October 24, not hundreds and thousands.

That said, Obama's trip has helped laid a solid foundation for future
collaboration between the US and China. It looks like the leaders are beginning
to finally catch up with their citizens!

A 360 Degree 350 Photo from Girona, Spain

By Jeremy

• 17 November, 2009 - 04:11

It's a testament to how big the 24th really was that we keep on discovering
new beautiful photos, videos, and stories of the actions that people took on
that day.

This one I just discovered as our Spanish/French 24th Coordinator kept
sending it to me saying, "You have to look at this!"  The idea of a 360
degree photo (one which captures the scene in a full circle) might boggle the
mind a little bit, but it also makes for incredibly creative photography and
events.  I'll post the static photo here, but to get the real power of it,
check out this webpage and play around - http://vistes360.com/350/.

Thanks to Quim, Teixidor, and everyone who made this possible!

Last night

By Bill McKibben

• 16 November, 2009 - 20:00

on Boston Common, about 2 a.m., when the police arrived to arrest or cite a
couple of hundred college students from across Massachusetts who were sleeping
out to protest the coal-fired power that heats their dorms. They've pledged not
to sleep inside till the Copenhagen conference starts, and it was a great
privilege to be with them last night, even if the police were none too happy.
These young people, in the Leadership Campaign are an example
to us all.

It was a great day all around, that began with the annual conference of the
Massachusetts Climate Action Network, one of the oldest and best regional
groups in the United States. Then we marched by the hundreds from Cambridge to
Boston, chanting "What do We Want? 350. When Do We Want It? Now!"

I left in the morning for a talk in St. Louis, but the college students
descended on the State House to lobby for their plan to shut down all the dirty
power plants in the state by 2020. Good for them!

Mr. President: Time to Quit Fibbing and Spinning

By Bill McKibben

• 16 November, 2009 - 12:56

Here's a piece that was just published at Mother Jones, a great magazine
based in the United States.

Two caveats. First, early in the primary season, when I was asked to join
Environmentalists for Obama, I signed on immediately. I knocked doors, made
phone calls, gave money, and celebrated his victory—I think he’s the best
president of my lifetime.

Second, Obama has done much that’s right about climate, including surround
himself with a stellar staff of advisers. From auto mileage to green
stimulus spending, he’s done more to deal with global warming than all of
the presidents combined in the 20 years that it’s been an issue.

But that’s a pretty low bar. And the announcement yesterday from the APEC
meeting in Singapore that next month’s Copenhagen
climate talks will be nothing more than a glorified talking session makes it
clear that he has, at least for now, punted on the hard questions around
climate. The world won’t be able to get started on solving our climate problem,
and the obstacle—as it has been for the last two decades—is the United
States.

And
in fact none of this should come as a surprise to anyone paying attention. For a
year now it’s been clear that the president is not
particularly focused on applying the political pressure that would have been
necessary to reach any kind of pact, much less one that approaches what the
science demands. Despite the deadline of the Copenhagen conference, Obama placed
energy second on his priority list, guaranteeing that health care would occupy
most of the year. He talked very little about climate, tending instead to talk
about green jobs and energy security, and in the process left the door open for
climate deniers to have a field day. And then—as with health care—he left it
pretty much entirely up to Congress to write the necessary legislation. That
kept him from having to bear the blame for a Byzantine bill, but it also meant
that the Senate—the body from which he came, and whose culture he had to
know—could work in its usual style, without White House pressure. Which at the
moment means that Joe Lieberman and Lindsay Graham are essentially rewriting the
legislation, to what end no one really knows.

"Survival" Making News in the Maldives

By Jamie

• 16 November, 2009 - 11:08

Ever wonder if your actions are really being heard? Last week,
thousands of us signed a Survival Pact in support of President Nasheeds' call
for climate action on behalf of some of the most vulnerable countries in the
world. It was just the type of support that will help climate champions like
Pres Nasheed stay strong in the face of attempts to delay and weaken necessary
action. Over the weekend, a Maldivian paper published a great article on the
campaign, echoing the words that we've heard from supporters in the Maldives and
the world, "Thank you for joining us in saying that survival is not
negotiable."

350.org call on
public to sign President's "Survival Pact"
Minivan News, 15
November 2009

350.org has posted an online petition on its site to support President
Mohamed Nasheed’s survival pact, announced at the Vulnerable Climate Forum, last
week.

At a congregation of 11 of the world’s most climate vulnerable countries, the
president invited participants to choose survival over suicide and commit to
drastic cuts in emission at the landmark UN climate change conference in
Copenhagen this December.

“At the moment every country arrives at the negotiations seeking to keep
their own emissions as high as possible. They never make commitments, unless
someone else does first.

“This is the logic of the madhouse, a recipe for collection suicide. We don’t
want a global suicide pact...So today, I invite some of the most vulnerable
nations in the world, to join a global survival pact instead.”

In an email to Minivan News today, Bill McKibben, the man behind the 350
campaign, which is calling for reduction of atmospheric carbon dioxide to
350ppm, said they had received tens of thousands of signatures in support of the
pact.

On the speech, McKibben said, “I thought it was the best speech by a head of
state about climate change in the 20 years I’ve been working on the issue.
Finally someone dropped the language of political convenience and replaced it
with the language of scientific necessity.”

Over on Nasheed’s Facebook page, readers have praised his speech.

“Thank you President Nasheed for having the courage to tell it like it is,”
said Laura Lamond, while Susan Blayney from Canada said the speech moved her to
write to her MP.

Bruce William Oswell Haynes wrote that the speech was the “most powerful use
of the spoken word I have heard for a long time.”

On the V-11 summit, McKibben said it showed that most vulnerable nations
would “not go quietly to the gallows”.

“It set them up to be the moral leaders at Copenhagen and beyond. Far more
than the big global environmental groups, these nations now represent the
cutting edge of the debate.”

Although the climate change talks are less than a month away, negotiations
have virtually reached a standstill.

At the last round of negotiations in Barcelona, Spain, earlier this month,
the divide between rich and poor countries remained more pronounced than
ever.

While the developing world are demanding broad cuts in emissions from the
developed world, the latter are reluctant to commit. Another issue of contention
is how much aid rich countries should given poorer ones to help them adapt to
climate change.

In the declaration signed at the V-11, participants agreed to show moral
leadership and begin the process of greening their economies but stopped short
of committing to going carbon neutral.

In March, Nasheed announced his intention to make the Maldives the first
carbon-neutral country in the world and at the summit, called on other countries
to join him.

Other countries at the summit included Bangladesh, Nepal, Vietnam, Kiribati,
Barbados, Bhutan, Ghana, Rwanda and Kenya.

Although they are among the lowest emitters of greenhouse gas emissions in
the world, they share between them the worst impacts of climate change including
desertification, drought, floods, storm surges and vulnerability to sea level
rise.

The declaration further called for cuts in emissions that would ensure global
temperatures remained below 2.5 degrees celsius above pre-industrial levels and
that atmospheric carbon dioxide was returned to the safe threshold of 350
ppm.

On 24 October, 350.org led a world-wide protest for this reduction in carbon
dioxide levels. People in 181 countries participated by holding over 5,200
events.

McKibben told Minivan News the campaign would now help organise a series of
candlelight vigils around the world on 12 December, especially targeted at US
embassies and consulates.

“It has become clear that even in the age of Obama, the United States still
represents the fundamental roadblock to change,” he said.

No Legally Binding Agreement in Copenhagen--but the movement marches
on...

By Bill McKibben

• 15 November, 2009 - 13:10

What disappointing news today, with the Obama administration and other world
leaders announcing
that they weren't going to make substantive progress in Copenhagen, that
there will likely be no legally binding treaty at the end of December's
UN climate talks.

It's too bad that citizens all over the planet are so far in advance of their
leaders, but it makes it very clear that we will need to keep growing our
movements quickly--nothing else can counterbalance the power of the vested
interests that have so far been able to delay action.

The next good chance will come on the weekend of Dec. 12, when there will be
candlelight vigils and rallies around the world. Many will take place at
American embassies and consulates, because we continue to believe--perhaps
against the evidence--that the Obama administration will rise to the occasion
and really lead in finding solutions to the crisis that it more than any other
nation has caused. More on this soon--for now, clear out that weekend (Friday,
Saturday, and Sunday) and we'll do our best to keep you posted as plans shape
up.

Onward.

Sending a Letter to the Right Person

By Bill McKibben

• 15 November, 2009 - 12:03

A 350-foot long letter! These pictures are from earlier today in
Bangladesh--they're at least a little antidote to the sadness of hearing that
our political leaders, including Barack Obama, have announced they're not going
to do much of anything in Copenhagen

Bangladesh Agriculture University Mymensingh, Vice Chancellor of the
university started the letter signing; later on every professor, lecturer, and
student signed on the letter. Before the signing program there was a rally
on the university ground where the Vice Chancellor of the university said “We
very lucky and proud that this letter signing program starting from our
university on the occasion of National Agriculture day. We are part of this
world, agriculture is essential for us and for this off course need a stable
climate.
We hope the decision makers will think about us to think about them
also."
The presenter of the program Professor Zakir
Hussain
described climate issues. Director of Design Bangladesh
MD.
Mahmudul Karim read out the message from 350.org by Bill McKibben: “As I have
been traveling around the world and showing pictures of the International Day of
Climate Action, none have moved people more than the photos from
Bangladesh.
They demonstrate that the people who have the most to lose from
global warming have put aside their daily worries and joined in common cause
with people around the world. This is deeply inspiring, and has helped many
nations move closer to a Survival Pact for Copenhagen--one that demands that the
world's rich nations cut their own carbon emissions steeply enough to give
countries like Bangladesh a chance."

Ukraine
Delivers!

By Jeremy

• 15 November, 2009 - 07:57

Our friends in Ukraine are fast becoming an organizing powerhouse on climate
change and 350.  Last week, they took their action photos from the 24th and
devilered them to the Environment Ministry in Kiev.  And not only did they
deliver them, but they delivered them in fine style, complete with a rendition
of a climate dance that has been traveling around the youth climate world -
"It's Hot in Here!"  It's wonderful to see the team there having fun in
their organizing - it's one of the core principles that will sustain this
movement over time.  But don't think it's all fun and games - delivering
photos to public officials is one of the best ways to make sure the momentum
from the actions on the 24th translates into the halls of our ministries and the
negotiating halls in Copenhagen this December.

Enjoy this short video of their delivery, and thanks to our friends in
Ukraine!

Stand with the President of the Maldives -- Sign the Global Survival
Pact

By [email-masked]

• 15 November, 2009 - 06:30

Just minutes ago, we hit the button to share this blast with thousands of
supporters around the globe -- to make sure you get the latest movement updates,
sign up here.

Dear Friends,

Since October 24, when you helped lead thousands of events around the world
calling for climate action, we've seen new political momentum behind the climate
solutions that science demands.  After meeting with dozens of delegates
during the last round of UN climate negotations in Barcelona, I can tell you
first-hand that your local climate leadership is making a real difference--and
helping clear the political space for national leaders to take ever-bolder
stances on the climate crisis.

Earlier this week, President Nasheed--the leader of a low-lying nation faced
with the very real threat of imminent extinction due to rising seas--delivered a
powerful speech at the opening of the "Climate Vulnerable Forum."  In his
speech, he calls for a survival pact in a plea so eloquent that you need to
read it for yourself and sign the survival pact today.

The "Climate Vulnerable Forum" included many of the nations on the very front
lines of the climate crisis, nations that are grappling with the impacts of the
climate crisis here and now.

The focus of President Nasheed's speech was to bring attention to the dire
consequences of ending the Copenhagen Climate Talks this December with a weak or
non-binding agreement.

I'll let President Nasheed's words speak for themselves:

"We are gathered here because we are the most
vulnerable group of nations to climate change."

"Some might prefer us to suffer in silence but
today we have decided to speak...we will not die quietly."

"Members of the G8 rich countries have pledged to
halt temperature rises to two degrees Celsius. Yet they have refused to commit
to the carbon targets, which would deliver even this modest goal."

"At two degrees we would lose the coral reefs. At
two degrees we would melt Greenland. At two degrees my country would not
survive."

"As a president I cannot accept this.  As a
person I cannot accept this."

"I refuse to believe that it is too late, and that
we cannot do any about it. Copenhagen is our date with destiny.  Let us go
there with a better plan."

Nasheed called on all nations to push for carbon neutrality in order to
ensure the survival of his country and all the most vulnerable people around the
world:

"After all, it is not carbon we want, but
development.  It is not coal we want, but electricity. It is not oil we
want, but transport. Low-carbon technologies now exist, to deliver all the goods
and services we need. Let us make the goal of using them."

Finally, he made the distinction between what might be considered a good deal
in Copenhagen, and one that would ensure the end of his people:

"At the moment every country arrives at the
negotiations seeking to keep their own emissions as high as possible.  They
never make commitments, unless someone else does first."

"This is the logic of the madhouse, a recipe for
collective suicide."

"We don't want a global suicide pact.  And we
will not sign a global suicide pact, in Copenhagen or anywhere.  So today,
I invite some of the most vulnerable nations in the world, to join a global
survival pact instead."

These are bold words, bolder than most people understand.

Here's the backstory: President Nasheed and other leaders of some of the the
world's most vulnerable countries  are already being pressured to back down
from their commitments to strong action. For example, when African countries
stood up at the UN Climate Talks in Barcelona last week and demanded rich
countries commit to strong climate targets, European politicians placed immense
pressure on them to back off, so much so that the chair of the African
negotiating bloc was forced to leave the negotiations.

Leaders like Nasheed need our support. Your actions on October 24th opened
the door for bolder leadership. And the deliveries of photos from Oct 24 events
to over 110 countries in Barcelona (and cities all over the world) are helping
turn grassroots action into political momentum.

Now, with just a month to go before Copenhagen, we must stand together.
All of us, from presidents and politicians to scientists and citizens,
must seize this moment and take this movement for survival to the next
level.

Please join us.

Onwards,

Teresa Niño and the 350.org Team

P.S. Please help increase the volume of this important call to action--share
it with your friends on Facebook with literally
two clicks.  Sharing the call on twitter is even easier--please take
mere seconds out of your day to grow this movement.

P.P.S. We're still committed to offline, grassroots organizing, and we're
gearing up for some historic events on the weekend of December 12th.  Plans
are still evolving, but for now clear out that weekend--it's the midway point of
the Copenhagen climate conference, and at that critical time we'll need all
hands on deck to make this movement soar.

If you want to understand what countries mean when they talk about survival,
visit a place like Koro Island, Fiji--14 villages in the mid-Pacific, who have
done nothing at all to cause the temperature to rise.  It's really quite a
miracle that they ask so politely.

350 on CD

By Bill McKibben

• 14 November, 2009 - 08:03

We've seen about a million wonderful photos from Oct. 24, but as far as we
know there's only one full-length cd of 350 ppm songs, organized by our friends
in Michigan. I got a copy when I was in Ann Arbor on Wednesday to lead a rally
with the musician Seth Bernard on the quad at the University of Michigan. It was
great fun on a gorgeous day, and the best news was that the city's Ecology Center is setting up an ongoing Ann
Arbor 350 Project to push for change on a local, statewide, national and global
scale.

You can hear some of the music on the sidebar of this website (look for 350
Music, down at the bottom on the righthand side) and you can see the whole cd here.

Understanding 350

So, what is global
warming and what's the problem anyway?

And what does this 350
number even mean?

If we're already past
350, are we all doomed?

How do we create the
political change to steer towards 350?

How do we get the world
on track to get to 350?

How do we actually reduce
carbon emissions to get to 350??

Will this thing work?
Will world leaders listen?

Where did this 350 number
come from?

Isn't America the biggest
source of the problem? What about China and India?

350 is just a number.
Wouldn't "Climate Emergency" or "Clean Energy Now" be a better call to
action?

And what about all the
other targets people are aiming for?

Why October 24th?

Why another
organization--there are already too many things going on!

Do you measure 350 in
CO2 or CO2e?
