350 ppm

That stands for 350 parts per million of carbon dioxide concentrate in our atmosphere. it seems that now, its a catch-phrase synonym with the push for climate change...

It is argued that if the temperature increases another 2 degrees, then climate change is believed to have reached an intolerable dangerous level. Temperature rise is contributed by global warming effects and these are man-made effects, a likely cause due to human activity in our bid in modernisation.

It is also interesting to note that the numbers proposed for the maximum cap for the target levels of CO2 (carbon dioxide).

From 550 ppm to 450 ppm to most recent 350 ppm. It will not be easy to reach a concensus as there are related costs to it. It will take a concerted effort from everyone, from the top most government level to the people on the streets.

So the remaining question is: Can we save mother Earth faster than we're destroying her?
