Rising levels of CO2 set to increase dead zones in tropical oceans - 25 Nov 2008 | |
Rising levels of CO2 set to increase dead zones in tropical oceans Supreme Master Ching Hai had stated to our Association members during an International Seminar in August 2008 the following about dead zones:
Supreme Master Ching Hai: So many whales and dolphins, they wash up ashore and die. There are so many dead zones in the ocean. It’s suffocating them, so they have to swim out of the water where it’s full of the poisonous gas that has been released! So they cannot bear it, they cannot breathe. So they have to get out of it. For them, life is in the water, but if water is full of poison, of course they come out. But when they come out, they die, too. Because they have no water. They stay in the ocean, they die; they came out, they die. There is no choice for them. This is the worst of all cruelty, that the people don’t take care of the environment. And let all beings keep dying like this. Just to be vegetarian, how difficult can it be. Even the dolphins have to swim out of the ocean; because they think like that they can survive, even risking their lives. So why not we can just can change to vegetarian diet?
Iran´s salt lake disappearing Iran’s Lake Urumiyah affected by drought. The inland salt lake that once attracted many visitors, human and bird alike, is now drying and according to scientists could disappear entirely in ten years without further conservation efforts. Prolonged droughts have caused water levels to dwindle three meters below normal, with resulting increased salinity bringing risk of soil damage and possible desertification. Environmentalists are requesting stepped up efforts to preserve the lake and safeguard its flora and fauna. Our gratitude, advocates of our natural world for your concern about the desperate situation of Lake Urumiyah. May this natural wonder be saved for the future generations to enjoy. |
