Email from President Nasheed to the Global Work Party 101010

Dear friends,

As President of one of the world's most climate vulnerable countries, I want to thank you for your tireless work and offer my wholehearted support for the Global Work Party on 10/10/10.

I shall be working hard in support of 10/10/10, up on my roof installing solar panels donated by Sungevity. But my event is just one of dozens of activities planned in the Maldives and thousands worldwide in support of this campaign.

I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to continue working to ensure that the planet meets the sustainable goal of returning CO2 concentrations to 350ppm.

For the Maldives, 350 is more than just a number: it is a passport to survival for our entire nation.

With best wishes,

President Mohamed Nasheed
President of the Maldives

_

350 - the most important number in the planet...

350 ppm carbon dioxide is the most we can have in the atmosphere if we wish to retain the planet similar to the one on which civilisation developed and to which life on Earth is adapted....

in other words, 350 parts per million is the safe upper limit for carbon dioxide in our atmosphere. it is the number humanity needs to get back to as soon as possible to avoid runaway climate change...


.

we're now at 387 ppm.... are we too late? is the planet doomed?
