COPENHAGEN As police cracked down on climate protesters, church bells tolled 350 times Sunday to impress on the U.N. global warming conference a number that is gaining a following, but is also awash in contradictions.

It refers to 350 parts per million of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, the highest concentration that some leading scientists say the world can handle without sparking dangerous climate effects.

Let’s go for 500ppm!
Lush forests, and plenty of food for the vegetards!
How ‘bout 30.06? That’s really precise!
And free Dope for everyone!
Really? I thought they were mostly GAY to stop the population bomb!!!
It’s still an interesting number. Until I heard about the “350 movement” I believed that carbon dioxide formed almost 1% of the atmosphere. I was surprised to learn that it is no more than .035 of 1%. That’s not much for a substance that every person and animal is breathing out constantly. Perhaps plant life sucks it up very effectively.
45?
My thoughts exactly!
Who is paying these Bozos to be there?
We have got to ID the man/men behind the curtain on this Globull Warming Hoax!
And then, totally discredit them and their hoax!
PS IOW, who is paying to hire and feed the European Rent-A-Mob?
I wonder what science really tells us. Courtesy of Dr. Idso...my FReeper friends.
Oh, and let us remember that the 350 stands for 3.1 one hundredths OF ONE PERCENT........
MEANING 3.5 out of 10,000
Meaning 3.5 seats in a 10,000 seat stadium
These days it is-—>> 3.8 seats in a 10,000 seat stadium
BTTT
I like that number, the best!!
.30-06 rules!!
Be Ever Vigilant!
