The green house effect must be stopped. The 350 organization is leading the fight.
Have you heard of the 350 Organization.
If not read the rest of this page.
Green House Effect: The 350 Challenge TODAY, the 24 October, people in 181 countries came together for the most widespread day of environmental action in the planet's history.
At over 5200 events around the world, people gathered to call for strong action and bold leadership on the climate crisis.
Cambria, California's 350 Challenge Event
CAMBRIAN'S JOIN THE FIGHT!
Today, the 24 of October in the small town of Cambria, California we joined hands with the world in attempt to raise awareness of climate change around the global.
Global warm be reversed and life on planet earth will return to normal.
Well… maybe normal is to much to ask but we can and will reduce the amount of carbon we produce and stop the green house effect.
THE GREEN HOUSE EFFECT WILL BE REVERSED!

Let Them Explain the Challenge
What does the number 350 mean?
350 is the most important number in the world--it's what scientists say is the safe upper limit for carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Two years ago, after leading climatologists observed rapid ice melt in the Arctic and other frightening signs of climate change, they issued a series of studies showing that the planet faced both human and natural disaster if atmospheric concentrations of CO2 remained above 350 parts per million.
Everyone from Al Gore to the U.N.'s top climate scientist has now embraced this goal as necessary for stabilizing the planet and preventing complete disaster. Now the trick is getting our leaders to pay attention and craft policies that will put the world on track to get to 350.
THE GREEN HOUSE EFFECT WILL BE REVERSED!
Is 350 scientifically possible?
Right now, mostly because we've burned so much fossil fuel, the atmospheric concentration of co2 is 390 ppm-that's way too high, and it's why ice is melting, drought is spreading, forests are dying.
To bring that number down, the first task is to stop putting more carbon into the atmosphere. That means a very fast transition to sun and wind and other renewable forms of power.
If we can stop pouring more carbon into the atmosphere, then forests and oceans will slowly suck some of it out of the air and return us to safe levels.
Is 350 politically possible?
It's very hard. It means switching off fossil fuel much more quickly than governments and corporations have been planning. Our best chance to speed up that process will come in December in Copenhagen, when the world's nations meet to agree on a new climate treaty.
Right now, they're not planning to do enough. But we can change that--if we mobilize the world to swift and bold climate action, which is what we're planning to do on October 24th.
What is the day of action?
On October 24, the International Day of Climate Action will cover almost every country on earth, the most widespread day of environmental action in the planet's history.
There will be big rallies in big cities, and incredible creative actions across the globe: mountain climbers on our highest peaks with banners, underwater demonstrations in island nations threatened by sea level rise, churches and mosques and synagogues and ashrams engaged in symbolic action, star athletes organizing mass bike rides--and hundreds upon hundreds of community events to raise awareness of the need for urgent action.
Every event will highlight the number 350--and people will gather at some point for a big group photo depicting that all important message. At 350.org, we'll assemble all the photos for a gigantic, global, visual petition.
The thousands of events on October 24 will drive 350 and all that it represents into the human imagination, and change the negotiating environment as we head towards the crucial UN Climate Negotiations in Copenhagen in December of 2009.
Copenhagen may well be the pivotal moment that determines whether or not we get the planet out of the climate crisis, and your actions on October 24 will help our leaders realize we need a real solution that pays attention to the science.How will this make a difference?
October 24, 2009 is only a date and a beginning. This challenge must keep going.
THE GREEN HOUSE EFFECT WILL BE REVERSED!
October 24 has finally put the focus where it needs to be: on the science and the citizens, not the special interests and the backroom deals.
People have sent in thousands of images of citizens gathering at important places around the world-from the melting peaks of Mt. Everest to the sinking beaches of the Maldives-displaying the number 350 in a creative way.
350.org staff will display these photos on the big screens in Times Square and projecting them at the UN headquarters.
Those photos are appearing in newspapers large and small-the same newspapers that politicians all over the world use as a barometer of public opinion.
We're also delivering copies of the images-and the stories that go with them-to national delegates, environment ministers, and heads of state the world over.
But more importantly, grassroots global action will be useful to put pressure on the huge UN Climate meeting in Copenhagen.
Together we can remind our leaders that they need to take physical reality-and not political expediency-into account when they're making decisions about our collective future.
350 is a clear and specific goal (unlike vague demands to "stop global warming") that helps move the negotiations in the direction science and justice demand.
We'll make sure your voice is heard, and this debate is re-framed in time to make a difference. To find out more information on this important challenger please go to the 350 website by clicking
