New UN climate report reveals that even optimistic scenarios predict a 6.3 degree F increase

Just in case we think that taking our reusable bags to the grocery store has made much difference…check out the UN’s most recent climate report.
We must get our governments to act now to at least mitigate the worst possible scenario. The economy and health care are all tied to the state of our planet’s health – and right now, we’re heading into the pooper.
Bill McKibbon who’s valiantly tackling climate change by imprinting the number 350 on everyone’s brains insists that there’s no time to waste. The number 350 signifies the level of greenhouse gases in parts per million that the atmosphere can absorb without dramatically altering ecosystems. Right now, we’re closing in on 390. The world, he says, is simply not doing enough.
What are you doing to create change – at a personal level? At a political level?
