Get together with friends and family to walk, cycle or bus down to Bournemouth beach to send an urgent message to world leaders in the lead-up to climate talks in Copenhagen. We'll be forming a giant '350' and taking a photo from the cliff top. Wear something blue. Bring a picnic. Help to build a giant sandcastle. Local groups involved include Friends of the Earth, Greenpeace, Transition BH Hub, Poole Agenda 21, Christian Aid.
Meet below the West Cliff cable car at 12.00 noon. RSVP.
Why 350? Leading scientists and climate experts now believe that 350 parts per million is the upper safe limit of CO2 in our atmosphere. We're currently at 386 ppm. More.
In its benchmark 2007 report, the IPCC said that the key for preventing dangerous global warming was to keep CO2 concentrations below 450 ppm. Above that level, average global temperatures are likely to increase by more than 2.0 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) by the end of the century, a threshold that leaders from the G8 leading industrialised nations agreed last month must not be crossed. source
