What the petition asks
Over the last century, carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere have risen dramatically, 60 years ago, there was roughly 315ppm of carbon dioxide, now however there’s over 400ppm. That’s an increasing of nearly 30%. This is having an impact on all aspects of the life on a global scale.
As said by Sir David Attenborough, we have just 20 years (At most) to change our ways before we hit a tipping point. It is at this point that we will have triggered an irreversible chain of events that will become the start of the end of life as we know it.
David Attenborough’s show; Climate change the facts.
