350 Parts Per Million: It’s the Magic Number!

351861898_074b2d7f18.jpgNASA scientist James Hansen, the man who first told Congress the planet was warming 20 years ago, declared the bottom line for our planet is 350 parts per million of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Our current level: 383 parts per million! “The evidence indicates we’ve aimed too high - that the safe upper limit for atmospheric CO2 is no more than 350 ppm.”

  1. DEAR ECO-SCRAPS,

    OCTIBER 16,2007 IS THE DATE THAT SHOULD BECOME A BENCHMARK IN

  3. Certainly, if what research has said is true and we are above any levels in the history of the planet, we are not going in the right direction. But it doesn’t take facts and figures like research to see we could be off course.

    Turn on the news and watch what they provide us with. The horror picture they paint for us is not forced on us, it is what we want from them. We don’t watch unless they provide us with a tragedy or a scandal.
    This represents how we feel about ourselves. We identify with such negativity because it is how we feel about ourselves as a whole.

    Our energy is misdirected, we are not healthy and the state of the earth reflects this. We use and abuse all the energy that we can get and not give back. This can only go on for so long until it is time for this energy to equalize itself.

    We should take a look at ourselves, that is the root of the problem. Only when our internal energy is equalized will we live in a way that is parallel with the earth.
