The implications of James Hansen and co's paper, Target CO2: Where should humanity aim? http://arxiv.org/abs/0804.1126 and it's supporting documentation, http://arxiv.org/abs/0804.1135 are probably not yet well known, though it did make the front page of The Guardian, http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2008/apr/07/climatechange.carbonemissions
A campaign has now been launched to raise awareness of this target -- currently we have over 380ppm of CO2 and it's going up faster than ever before -- http://www.350.org/

There is an interview with one for the organisers of the campaign on Global Public Media:
The Reality Report interviews Jamie Henn of 350.org, a creative new initiative formed following the scientific understanding that atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations need to be reduced to at most 350 parts per million.
