Green House Gases on threshold of Tipping Point

"The amount of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere is already above the threshold that can potentially cause dangerous climate change. We are already at risk...It's not next year or next decade, it's now." (Tim Flannery, climate change expert) (1), (2).

Isn't it alarming? Look at another report!
The total "long-term" carbon dioxide equivalent of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere has already reached 455 parts per million. (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Report) This level is considered a tipping point.
Another very important note from one of the most dedicated movers and shakers of global environmental (350.org):
Unless we can reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to 350 parts per million, we will cause huge and irreversible damage to the earth. (350.org)
