A Savage way to save the world 3
Posted 1 month, 2 weeks ago We can't save the world through keystrokes or oar strokes alone. As Roz Savage's example shows us, we gotta get outside and stand together to save the planet. Stand together, not just on Blog Action Day or on October 24, but every day, in little and big ways. That's how movements become reality.

What Bill McKibben learned from the gay rights march 2
Posted 1 month, 2 weeks ago If the mainstream media is going to largely ignore a mass demonstration on the national mall—such as Sunday’s National Equality March for gay rights—public demonstrations might as well be small, numerous, and spread all over, says 350.org founder Bill McKibben.
Can we still afford to save the planet? Yes

Posted 1 month, 3 weeks ago By Eban Goodstein, Frank Ackerman, Kristen Sheeran There is good news on the climate policy front. The Europeans have ratcheted down their emission targets; the Chinese are getting serious about solar power and energy efficiency; and Washington, after opening a multi-billion dollar stimulus spicket for clean energy, is lumbering towards a carbon cap.

9 damned good reasons why some U.S. environmentalists should heartily oppose Waxman-Markey 7
Posted 5 months, 1 week ago
I just read a comment from Randy Cunningham, who said he was torn between supporting Waxman-Markey, based on appeals to his brain, and opposing it, based on what he feels in his heart. I empathize with the feeling of being torn between two less-the-ideal choices, but I think that Randy’s got his organs mixed up.
Behind the numbers

350 vs. 450: The heart of the matter 2
Posted 5 months, 1 week ago
There has never been a civic dispute as precisely quantified as climate. Most U.S. environmental organizations endorse the Waxman-Markey climate bill with the stated goal of keeping atmospheric greenhouse gases below 450 parts per million. The conservative position enunciated by Jim Hansen, advanced by Bill McKibben and 350.org, and endorsed by a handful of climate advocates (none of them mainstream environmental organizations) is defined as an immediate return below 300-350 ppm.

The two numbers are not staging points on a gradual curve of escalating climate impacts, a fact that does not seem to be acknowledged in the present debate. Each goal is the product of an entirely different calculus.
Can a number save the world? 1
Posted 5 months, 1 week ago
It can if that number is 350. That’s the safe upper limit of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere: 350 parts per million. It’s also the rallying cry of a creative campaign to raise awareness of the climate crisis and build grassroots support for the 2009 Climate Conference in Copenhagen.
