A number of people have asked why 350 on the my blog fights climate change badge, well, its the parts per million of CO2 in the atmosphere that we must aim for if we want to keep the planet relatively safe. I feel this is an important message to spread, as most of our targets for reductions are based on 450 ppm. If the 350 ppm is right, and it has the backing of many eminent scientists, our targets (in the UK) should be 80% and not 60% by 2050, which is a huge huge difference.

Readers of isite will know I am not totally in agreement with offsetting – but take a look at Brighter Planet and make your own minds up and get a badge.
