Why we are 350: Scientists overwhelmingly agree that 350ppm CO2 is the upper limit to sustain life as humans have lived it. For more than 800,000 years atmospheric CO2 varied between roughly 180 to 280ppm ([link removed]) .

Our Earth passed 350ppm CO2 during 1988!
Mauna Loa Observatory ([link removed]) - We are now in the 420 - 425ppm range!
Could Democrats Control Congress This Spring?
It feels like a pipe dream!
* The U.S. Congress has 435 voting members
* The math:
+ 215 are Democrats
+ 218 are Republican
+ That equals 433 voting members today
o Matt Gaetz (FL-1) & Michael Waltz (FL-6) seats are vacant
+ One more will be vacant when Elise Stefanik (NY-1) is likely confirmed as the next UN US Ambassador)
+ That will be three seats special elections!
* IF somehow the Democrats picked up those three seats:
+ 218 Democrats
+ 217 Republican
+ A Democrat as House Speaker!

OK, it's a long shot! However, consider:
* The April 1st special elections for the Florida seats are about 6 1/2 weeks away (the date of the NY-21st special election won't be set until after Stefanik is confirmed - her confirmation is being slowed ([link removed]) ).
* The new administration has been in office about 3 1/2 weeks and some people are rethinking their choices.
* Who knows where we'll be in another six weeks

The Democratic candidates:
* FL-1 Gay Valimont ([link removed])
* FL-6 Josh Weil ([link removed])
* NY-21 Blake Gendebien ([link removed])

If you can, please think about chipping in $5, $10, $20 or ? to one or more of these campaigns.

Every seat counts!
