A bunch of ninnies - 350 or bust
A great article that shows just how uneducated the "upper" classes are.

Breitbart/AFP:
Church bells to ring out warning on climate change
The World Council of Churches on Thursday called on churches around the world to ring their bells 350 times during the Copenhagen climate change summit on December 13 as a call to action on global warming.
The leading council of Christian and Orthodox churches also invited places of worship for other faiths to join a symbolic "chain of chimes and prayers" stretching around the world from the international date line in the South Pacific.
"On that Sunday, midway through the UN summit, the WCC invites churches around the world to use their bells, drums, gongs or whatever their tradition offers to call people to prayer and action in the face of climate change," the council said in a statement.
"By sounding their bells or other instruments 350 times, participating churches will symbolise the 350 parts per million that mark the safe upper limit for CO2 (carbon dioxide) in the atmosphere according to many scientists," it added.
The chimes are meant to start at 3.00 pm local time in each location.
The WCC brings together 348 Protestant, Orthodox and Anglican churches representing about 560 million Christians in 110 countries.
Emphasis mine -- not my Anglican. My Anglican would tell the others to read the facts and then nut up or shut up...
I cannot think of a more self-serving bunch of ninnies. They will feel so good, so righteous, so connected with this action. What they are feeling is pride at taking such a moral high-ground and the last time I checked, Pride was still a sin.
The focus on 350 is idiotic. CO2 is plant food and there have been times when it was up to 6,000 parts per million and the global temperatures averaged in the 70s (this was the time when the great coal beds were laid down -- intense vegetation). In recent history, the CO2 was a bit lower but we had a five hundred year span (800-1300)of higher than normal temperatures -- higher than we had during 1998 (Medieval Warm period).
Those nattering nabobs who say that we are at a climate tipping point are either idiots or have a darker political agenda.
