Buddhist statement on climate change
The Dalai Lama has signed a strong statement supporting a target below 350 ppm of atmospheric carbon. This target is supported by a number of eminent climate scientists and is rapidly becoming the new consensus target. It is, however, a very difficult target to meet because the current concentration of atmospheric carbon stands today at 390 ppm or possibly more. It is good to see religious leaders recognizing and embracing the science of climate change.
Here‘s a Buddhist website devoted to climate change. It includes a statement to sign.
