Week 11 350.org

350.org was not my original plan for this week but it seems paypal does not like me and that is the only option for donation!!..

So, it is 350.org this week. I was going to get to 350, at a later time. It is another activist environmental group.

A couple years ago I went to Bill McKibbon's "math tour" essentially, finally, the scientist laid out a plan including a firm goal for carbon in our environment - at 350 ppm (actually less would be better - this is the limit), at the moment it is 400 ppm....More math...he explained that if the fossil fuel industry burns what it projects to do -  80-90 years from now this planet will essentially not be livable by humans due to a ~6 degree rise in temperature (we need to keep that rise < 2 degrees). However the fossil industry has included this future "burn" as part as its future earnings. Its is silly that all this fuel, currently in the ground, has an investment price on it.....guys, we may not be here to collect....certainly our grandchildren will not.

This ties into the divestment idea I mentioned in an earlier post.

Here is a proof of sorts...
