Nothing in those sources to directly connect the protest to 350.org, so shouldn't be added. Ravensfire (talk) 00:44, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

CANVASS CALL - Proposed policy about overlinking in edit summaries

CANVASS CALL - Proposed policy about overlinking in edit summaries

FYI I have proposed a policy about links in edit summaries; Since this page is often the subject of improper overlinking in edit summaries by various IPs, I thought readers of this page would be an appropriate group to canvass, in case anyone has a pro or con opinion. NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 21:17, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

UPDATE: The proposal failed and voting is closed, though I'd be grateful for comments on my talk page. NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 00:38, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

Resource, other supports of 350 ppm

From Climate change mitigation scenarios ...

  • A mitigation scenario modeled by Malte Meinshausen et al. suggests that to stabilize CO2 at 350 ppm, we will need to reduce emissions by slightly more than 5% per year.[9]
  • From an "energy technology and policy perspective", Joe Romm says a 350-ppm target will require eight wedges, each saving 1 gigaton of carbon per year, by 2030, and another ten by 2060.[10]

states “the safe upper limit for atmospheric CO2 is no more than 350 ppm." and quotes the report "The Economics of 350: The Benefits and Costs of Climate Stabilization" by Stephen J. DeCanio, Eban Goodstein, Richard B. Howarth, Richard B. Norgaard and Catherine S. Norman, stressing " the need for immediate, direct intervention".

Capitalism vs. the Climate November 9, 2011 by Naomi Klein. This article appeared in the November 28, 2011 edition of The Nation. Excerpt below

And then there is the historic movement against the Keystone XL pipeline, which this fall has decisively yanked the climate movement out of the lobbyists’ offices and into the streets (and jail cells). Anti-Keystone campaigners have noted that anyone concerned about the corporate takeover of democracy need look no further than the corrupt process that led the State Department to conclude that a pipeline carrying dirty tar sands oil across some of the most sensitive land in the country would have “limited adverse environmental impacts.” As 350.org’s Phil Aroneanu put it, “If Wall Street is occupying President Obama’s State Department and the halls of Congress, it’s time for the people to Occupy Wall Street.”

Is there a Phil Aroneanu wp article? 99.181.134.134 (talk) 06:05, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

?

Although the Haaretz article cited in footnote 21 refers to James Hansen as the author of the book Climate Code Red, that book was written by David Spratt (full title CLIMATE CODE RED: THE CASE FOR EMERGENCY ACTION, published by SCRIBE PUBLICATIONS, Melbourne, Australia in 2008). In his 2010 book "Eaarth--Making Life On a Tough New Planet" (spelled with two "a"s deliberately) McKibben describes (pp 206ff) the origins of the 350 movement and refers to "James Hansen's NASA report setting 350 parts per million carbon dioxide as the maximum atmospheric concentration compatible with maintaining the planet..." but does not cite Climate Code Red.Umbrete1066 (talk) 05:48, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Haaretz and Climate Code Red: The Case for Emergency Action ? 99.181.136.135 (talk) 15:53, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

List of messengers.

Is there any support for the presence of any particular messengers in this article? — Arthur Rubin (talk) 06:53, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

The anon asserts that there is support, because the list of 4 or 5 has been there for about a year; however, I believe there was a consensus that there should be no specific messengers listed unless an external reliable source considered it notable. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 07:00, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
So you didn't find a "historical precedent" of lack-of-consensus ... so you are attempting to make-up one now? 99.181.140.141 (talk) 08:48, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

Possible error, re: authorship

"Later, the continued melting of the polar cap pushed him into starting 350.org, based on Hansen's 2007 book Climate Code Red."

I am pretty sure "Storms of My Grandchildren" is James Hansen's only book.

On Amazon, there is a book entitled: "Climate Code Red: The Case for Emergency Action" by David Spratt and Philip Sutton.

The linked interview (http://www.haaretz.com/350-and-counting-1.8057) does attribute the book to Hansen, but I think it is incorrect.

--Ilnyckyj (talk) 19:43, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

Indeed. I find nothing to back up the claim in Haaretz and there has been no reply to this objection since July 2012. I have changed to what seems a safe statement. Peter Gulutzan (talk) 23:17, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

Cyberbot II has detected links on 350.org which have been added to the blacklist, either globally or locally. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed or are highly inappropriate for Wikipedia. The addition will be logged at one of these locations: local or global If you believe the specific link should be exempt from the blacklist, you may request that it is white-listed. Alternatively, you may request that the link is removed from or altered on the blacklist locally or globally. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. Please do not remove the tag until the issue is resolved. You may set the invisible parameter to "true" whilst requests to white-list are being processed. Should you require any help with this process, please ask at the help desk.
