350 at the South Pole
One of the unexpected delights of our flickr.com photo account is that--even after October 24th and Copenhagen--people continue to send us the most incredible pictures of actions they're taking to create a 350 ppm world. Here is a recent dispatch from one intrepid supporter who hails from my own little piece of California.
"Hi,
My name is Khai Nguyen and I live in the Bay Area.
I was in an expedition to ski the last degree to the South Pole. The ski journey started on Dec 20 2009 and finished at the South Pole on Dec 30. We skied the last 60 nautical miles to reach 90 degrees south. I had the 350 logo printed and brought it with me all the way from the San Francisco Bay Area to the South Pole.

Being in Antarctica and at the South Pole is truly an amazing experience and most of all, 350 means even more. Climate change shows its effect the most in the polar regions and no one wants a melting Antarctica.
The picture taken at the South Pole on Dec 31 2009 (US PST)
Regards
Khai Nguyen"

Understanding 350
- So, what is global warming and what's the problem anyway?
- And what does this 350 number even mean?
- If we're already past 350, are we all doomed?
- How do we create the political change to steer towards 350?
- How do we get the world on track to get to 350?
- How do we actually reduce carbon emissions to get to 350??
- Will this thing work? Will world leaders listen?
- Where did this 350 number come from?
- Isn't America the biggest source of the problem? What about China and India?
- 350 is just a number. Wouldn't "Climate Emergency" or "Clean Energy Now" be a better call to action?
- And what about all the other targets people are aiming for?
- Why October 24th?
- Why another organization--there are already too many things going on!
- Do you measure 350 in CO2 or CO2e?
