The SOS! International Seminar on Global Warming leaves lasting impressions and much inspiration. Senator Andrew Bartlett, Member of Australian Parliament – Queensland, Dr. Jonathan Patz, Lead author of United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reports, Professor of Environment and Public Health: I think if we really begin to act together and in many ways begin to conserve energy, that we can abate climate change and sustain our population’s health and the health of the world. Thank you very much and I hope you have a successful meeting. VOICE: Next, lectures on different aspects of global warming were presented by four distinguished guests, including Tony Clemson, head of the climate change section of the British Embassy in Seoul. G (e): The red line shows areas of the world at risk of flooding. And if we look at the last part of this diagram, this shows over the last 50 years areas of the world where there have been conflicts or wars. And I think when one sees where the areas of the world with instability are, and one combines it with the impacts of climate change, I think we can all understand that this has profound implications for our national security. VOICE: The highlight of the event was a live videoconference panel discussion with the guest of honor, Supreme Master Ching Hai. Despite her busy schedule, Supreme Master Ching Hai set aside time to answer questions on various aspects of climate change that are affecting humankind. Her response to one question from a government official revealed a set of priorities for the global warming solution.
VOICE: Congratulations all participants for a productive gathering that covered a wide range of issues most relevant to our lives. We especially thank Supreme Master Ching Hai for her ever loving care of our planet and its many inhabitants. May our world quickly take the steps necessary to restore and preserve our Earth. Please stay tuned for a re-broadcast of the SOS! International Seminar on Global Warming with subtitles at a later date, here on Supreme Master Television.
His Royal Highness Prince Charles has become increasingly vocal about the dire condition of our planet and most recently stated that the world has 18 months to avert a global warming catastrophe. The prince also said that US$29.7 billion, administered as a global fund, needs to be spent each year to stop deforestation and prevent grave consequences to humanity. Without such measures, he stated, “We will end up seeing more drought and starvation on a grand scale. Weather patterns will become even more terrifying and there will be less and less rainfall. We are asking for something pretty dreadful unless we really understand the issues now and [the] urgency of them." Our gratefulness for the depth of your concern, Your Royal Highness. We wish you Godspeed in your campaign to raise awareness about the seriousness of global warming. May we all take heed and make the commitments necessary to restore the balance of our precious Earth. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/theroyalfamily/1961719/Prince-Charles-Eighteen-months-to-stop-climate-change-disaster.html, http://www.newkerala.com/one.php?action=fullnews&id=59952, http://www.mariri.net/content/view/38/1/,http://www.sustainabletable.org/issues/feed/, http://www.greenpeace.org/raw/content/international/press/reports/eating-up-the-amazon.pdf, http://www.fao.org/docrep/010/a0701e/a0701e00.htm |
