Metiria Turei displayed the 350 banner in parliament today, while asking Nick Smith what the government’s ppm target is.
Thanks to scoop.co.nz for the photos
Nick Smith responded to the question with “450″, which, according to some, is enough to give us roughly a 50% chance of avoiding dangerous levels of warming.
Would you get on an airplane with a 50% chance of crashing? Would you get on an airplane if there was a 5% chance of crashing? What about 1%? Bear in mind that the chance of being in a fatal aircrash is 1 in 8.47 million, normally… or 0.00000000000001% (I don’t know how many zeroes, lots)

crushing a boy racer’s car is a challenge to young men to extract a price from those who seek to crush their cars.
