Climate action.  On 10/10/10 350.org asked people all over the world to take action and show leaders that citizens are determined to bring th elevel of CO2 in our atmosphere back to tolerable levels.  This is one of those actions.  Speakers: Burlington Mayor Bob Kiss, Michael Wood-Lewis, Front Porch Forum, Governor Candidate Peter Shumlin, Senator, Patrick Leahy, Senator Bernie Sanders, Representative Peter Welch, and Jos Solomon, 350.org coordinator.

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. Three 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.
