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)
"On May 9, 2013, an instrument near the summit of Mauna Loa in Hawai'i, United States, recorded a long-awaited climate milestone: the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere there had exceeded 400 parts per million (ppm) for the first time in 55 years of measurement—and probably more than three million years of Earth history." - National Geographic ([link removed])
Guess what it was yesterday, then see if you were correct!

Why we are 350: "The last time the concentration of Earth's main greenhouse gas reached [400 ppm - May 9, 2013], horses and camels lived in the high Arctic. Seas were at least 9.1 meters (30 feet higher) - at a level that today would inundate major cities around the world." - National Geographic ([link removed])
Join the Global Climate Strike on March 3rd to demand that world leaders, policymakers and those most responsible take action and are held accountable for the Climate Crisis. Climate Justice Now!
So many banks (including Chase and Wells Fargo) are lending their depositor's money to fossil fuel companies to develop new wells. We want to make everyone aware of this!

"The races comes at a time when the Senate GOP caucus is seeking to hold onto a supermajority ([link removed]) , which gives Senate Republicans the power to remove impeached state officers — including the governor, attorney general, and other officials. At the same time, Democrats are making more headway ([link removed]) in the traditionally conservative suburbs surrounding Milwaukee."
