Why we are 350: Scientists overwhelmingly agree that 350ppm CO2 is the upper limit to sustain life as humans have lived it. For 800,000+ years atmospheric CO2 varied between roughly 180 to 280ppm ([link removed]) (graphic).

The clime to well beyond 350ppm CO2 has contributed to headlines like this: Miami and New Orleans face greater sea-level threat than already feared ([link removed])

Where is it today? See the CO2 Values at the Mauna Loa Observatory ([link removed])

Rethinking Humanity
A 30 minute Film by RethinkX
Followed by a discussion
Humanity is on the brink of existential transformation, but we’re blind to [link removed] deeper processes of change. To recognize the mind-blowing possibility space of the next decade, as well as its catastrophic risks, we must grasp the patterns of history to understand how they can illuminate today.

Rethinking Humanity takes viewers on a whirlwind tour of the rise and fall of civilizations through a powerful lens that makes sense of the past, so that we can step into the present and create our future. During the 2020s, key technologies will converge to completely disrupt the five foundational sectors that underpin civilization, and with them every major industry in the world today. In information, energy, food, transportation, and materials, costs will fall by 10x or more, while production processes an order of magnitude more efficient will use 90% fewer natural resources with 10x-100x less waste.

​The knock-on effects for society will be as profound as the extraordinary possibilities that emerge. For the first time in history, we could overcome poverty easily. Access to all our basic needs could become a fundamental human right. But this is just one future outcome. The alternative could see our civilization collapse into a new dark age. Which path we take depends on the choices we make, starting today. The stakes could not be higher.

350MKE Fridays for Future
Fridays from 12:00 - 1:00 pm
​Chase & Wells Fargo Banks
Many banks (including Chase and Wells Fargo) are lending their depositor's money to fossil fuel companies to develop new fossil fuel production.

We want more people to be aware of this and hopefully change their bank or talk to the management!

We get honks and thumbs up from drivers and passersby. Some people stop and have a chat about what the banks are doing.

A beautiful spring day this Friday! Join us for some
camaraderie.
We're alternating among three Chase Bank locations in different areas of Milwaukee.
