350 Santa Fe Global Warming Resource Wiki

In early 2020, the 350 Santa Fe Chapter embarked on a project to capture their volunteers' notes on a wide variety of subjects aimed at understanding the full nature of the climate crisis (aka Global Warming), possible solutions, and the resources that activists might need to call on to make a difference. Visitors are welcome to browse this content, follow the extensive links to other materials and provide feedback via our website contact form.

Occasionally, as a visitor you will see TODO to indicate that our research is incomplete and more information is needed on a subject. If you are interested in helping complete these topics please email us at 350santafe.info@gmail.com. If you have copyediting skills and would like to help us improve our presentation, sentence structure, spelling errors, etc. please also contact us at the same email address.

Thank you.

A Slow Crisis in the Making

The Problem

Main article:The Problem

The world’s scientists confirmed in the 2018 IPCC report that at the current rate, the world could cross 1.5˚C hotter as soon as 2030. That’s only a decade from now, well within the lifespan of most people alive today.

1.5˚C might not sound like a big increase in temperature, but it’s the difference between life and death for thousands of people.

Earth has always had natural cycles of warming and cooling, but not like we’re seeing now. The top five hottest years on record are 2016, 2015, 2017, 2018, and 2014.

And rising temperatures doesn’t only mean it’s getting hotter. The Earth’s climate is complex — even a small increase in average global temperature means big changes, with lots of dangerous side effects. (Src: 350.org)

Why is it 350?

Main article: Why is it 350?

Climate scientists in 2008 with NASA Goddard Institute suggest that global policies should have an initial target for atmospheric CO2 of 350 ppm. They note that the optimum CO2 level for maintaining a planet similar to that on which civilization developed is likely to be less than 350 ppm, but a 350 ppm target already reveals that dramatic policy changes are needed urgently. By the time such fundamental changes are achieved, knowledge will exist to help fine-tune the target CO2.
