I’ve been skiving on this-no time, and I just moved to Portland, OR because I lost my job and got another one up here.
But, I just visited This Modern World, and there was a post from Jonathan Schwartz about ANOTHER post from Tom Dispatch about climate change. This will be the defining issue of our time. Forget the war, the economy, everything else-this is it. And we need to take action NOW. Read the article, visit 350.org-DO IT. No BS. NOW.
Basically, to survive and keep our planet in a state close to how it is now, we need carbon dioxide at a level of 350 parts per million. It’s at 385. And it rose 2.4 ppm last year, twice the rate of 20 years ago. Not good, not good at all. Action must be taken, by everyone on our planet, immediately, no exceptions. Get involved, tell your friends, do things that reduce your carbon footprint-plant trees, get an alternate car, take public transportation, go solar. No sitting watching TV, using electricity-get active!!!
