With
parts of the Arctic and northern Quebec reaching more than 6 ° Celsius
above normal seasonal averages, the nation’s Meteorological Service has
reported that this past winter was the warmest and driest on record.
Along
with up to 60% less precipitation in some regions for this year alone,
the past decade has produced 4 of the ten warmest years on record.
Meanwhile
in the United States, a recent analysis by the US National Aeronautics
and Space Administration (NASA) affirmed that average temperatures in
the past decade have continued to rise rapidly despite year-to-year
fluctuations caused by El Niño and La Niña cycles.
Our heartfelt thanks, Canadian and US scientists for this revealing data, despite its unsettling observations.
Let
us all move now to adopt planet-cooling actions that restore the
balance of our shared global home. In a video message during a June 2009
climate change conference in Veracruz, Mexico, Supreme Master Ching Hai
spoke of the quickest way to reverse the case of ever-extreme
temperature rise.
Supreme Master Ching Hai:
The past decade has twice, at least, seen the hottest average annual
temperatures ever recorded in our planet’s history. So, we must cool the
planet, first and foremost. And one of the most effective and fastest
ways to reduce the heat in the atmosphere is to eliminate methane
production.
Methane not only traps up to 72 times more heat than carbon, it also goes away from the atmosphere much faster than CO2.
We
can start by cutting down on the biggest methane producer in the world,
that is, animal raising. So, to cool the planet most quickly, we have
to stop consuming meat in order to stop the livestock raising industry
If
everyone in the world would adopt this simple but most powerful
practice of an animal-free diet, then we could reverse the effect of
global warming in no time.
