Strong reasons to forego meat. - 21 Jun 2008 | |
Global warming causes animal migration. Mr. Razworthy, you have our appreciation for your keen observations. Our prayers for the world to take quick, effective actions to sustain our animal co-inhabitants’ lives as well as our own. (*) Strong reasons to forego meat.
VOICE: The livestock industry is the number one producer of the most potent greenhouse gases. The UN reports that meat production emits 37 per cent of the world's methane gas, which has 23 times the global warming effect of carbon dioxide. Processing meat is also responsible for 65 per cent of the nitrous oxide emissions, which are 310 times more potent than CO2. A new study appearing in the May issue of the scientific journal “Nature” reveals scientists’ concern that only a little more warming could unleash the methane that is now trapped deep in the ocean and in the frozen permafrost. Its massive volume is estimated as double the world’s known fossil fuel reserves. Supreme Master Ching Hai: Because the methane gas, it has been trapped all these centuries, because of stockbreeding, into the lakes into the permafrost, into the ocean, and now it is melting and then the gas will be released also. On top of that, we have daily more animal breeding, more methane gas, and we will never stop. It just be more and more trouble, deeper and deeper into trouble. So just stop killing animals, stop raising animals anymore. And we don’t produce anymore methane gas. Then it is a perfect picture. VOICE: We thank Supreme Master Ching Hai for showing us the comprehensive picture of our situation, from the economic to the spiritual effects. We pray that we will avoid the chain of calamities from meat production as the benefits of animal-free living are likewise manifold. May we embrace the lives-saving lifestyle for the bright future of all. Please tune in at a future date for the full conference with multi-language subtitles here on Supreme Master Television.
