According
to scientists at the US National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC),
Arctic sea ice is now measures at its third smallest area on record due
to global warming.
Their report stated, “This is only the third
time in the satellite record that ice extent has fallen below five
million square kilometers, and all those occurrences have been within
the past four years.” NSIDC Director Dr. Mark Serreze said, “The Arctic,
like the globe as a whole, is warming up and warming up quickly, and
we're starting to see the sea ice respond to that. Really, in all
months, the sea ice cover is shrinking - there's an overall downward
trend. The extent of Arctic ice is dropping …very quickly.”
The NSIDC report estimated that ice on the northern pole could be entirely gone by September 2030.
We
thank Dr. Serreze and all scientists at the National Snow and Ice Data
Center for this further cautioning of the continued melt of Arctic sea
ice.
Let us step in unison toward immediate actions that reverse this process and restore climate balance.
Speaking
during a November 2009 videoconference in USA, Supreme Master Ching Hai
addressed the alarming disappearance of polar ice, while reminding of
humanity’s ability to provide the most efficient solution.
Supreme Master Ching Hai:
In the Arctic, North Pole, so much ice has already melted that
scientists are forecasting an ice-free summer within as little as 3-6
years, which would be the first time in one million years - first time
in one million years!
I pray day and night that the divine
manifest in the physical realm and wake up the leaders of our nations,
wake up the religious heads, wake up everybody in time so that they
understand the urgency of our situation, and that they understand the
solution of solving this dangerous crisis that is facing us.
That is, we have to turn back to our caring and compassionate nature inside our heart.
Being vegan worldwide is the advancement of compassion that will create a harmonious Eden on Earth.
