Scientists at the Mauna Loa observatory in Hawaii have registered atmospheric carbon dioxide levels of 400ppm. It is the first time they've been this high in more than 2 million years. What does this mean for the fight against runaway climate change? Scientists and environmental leaders weigh in.
More than 17 million people from all walks of life signed a global call-to-action in advance of the Copenhagen climate talks in 2009. The petition, organized under the TckTckTck campaign banner, was one of the largest of its kind and represented hundreds of organizations across a broad range of social and environmental causes. Though the UN climate talks have yet to deliver a fair, ambitious and binding treaty on carbon pollution, the climate movement goes stronger every day.
Climate Impacts are being felt in every country to varying degrees, but everywhere we see visionary individuals, businesses and governments who are stepping up to the challenge. The Tck Climate Guide explores both climate impacts and climate solutions, including the capacity for each nation to meet it's energy needs though solar and wind power.

The Global Campaign for Climate Action is the world's most diverse alliance of nonprofit organizations working to mobilize civil society and galvanize public opinion in support of climate action. Our partners, 400 and growing, come from a broad spectrum of civil society, including national and international NGO's working to protect the environment and to fight poverty.
The verdict is in -- record breaking weather extremes around the globe are increasing as a result of human-made carbon pollution. But there is good news. The latest research shows we can transition to clean, renewable energy sources while supporting healthy, sustainable economic development. There's only one climate. Let's work to reverse global warming and bring the climate back into balance, so generations to come have a safe planet to call home.
