McKibben argued that 2014 was the hottest year on record and that environmental damage was outpacing scientific forecasts.

This milestone challenges the branding of environmental groups like 350.org, which identified 350 ppm as the safe limit for the planet. A local producer noted that indoor CO2 levels in his home reached 750 ppm without adverse health effects.

The hosts play clips from "Democracy Now!" and discuss how activists like Bill McKibben use extreme weather events to push the Paris Agreement. They argue that the computer models used to predict the storm's path were largely inaccurate.

The company, a B Corporation that has raised $42 million from investors like Bill Gates and Ashton Kutcher, will now take a 5% fee on user donations. The hosts predict the site will struggle under a "value for value" model because the service it provides lacks inherent tangible value.
