With
 recent research doubling forecasts due to new information about 
accelerated ice melt in Antarctica and other regions, a 1.4-meter sea 
level rise is now being anticipated in coastal areas and islands before 
the next century. 
Countries such as Âu Lạc (Vietnam) are thus 
calling attention to the issue of food security ahead of the upcoming 
international negotiations in Copenhagen. Deputy Director of the 
Aulacese (Vietnamese) Meteorology, Hydrology and Climate Change 
Department, Mr. Nguyễn Khắc Hiếu has stated that the anticipated 
flooding would inundate 31,000 square kilometers of the Mekong Delta – 
an area about the size of Belgium. 
As the world’s second largest
 rice exporter, the effect to both Âu Lạc and many other countries would
 be profound. Deputy Director Nguyễn is thus asking that adaptation 
issues be addressed at the Copenhagen climate summit. 
Our 
appreciation, Deputy Director Nguyễn and Âu Lạc for calling attention to
 this vital topic at such a crucial juncture for humanity. May the 
decisions of our world leaders bring unified steps to restore the 
balance of our ecosphere. During an August 2009 climate change 
conference in Thailand, Supreme Master Ching Hai 
further highlighted
 the tolls of the current global crisis, while emphasizing the critical 
need for appropriate action to reverse the situation.
Supreme Master Ching Hai : In Âu Lạc 
(Vietnam), you probably know of global warming related problems such as 
the untimely flooding and encroachment of the sea of the Mekong Delta 
region –
both of which have caused havoc and further threat to the 
region’s vital rice and fruit crops. 
This is due to a combination of
 sea levels rising, along with the effect of melting glaciers, which are
 now causing excessive floods but eventually will cause drought and 
vastly diminished water supplies as well. 
So we must work quickly to
 avoid such unwanted outcomes. 
And the most effective way is the
 organic vegan diet, organic vegetable farming. This is also the fastest
 way to reverse the increased warming climate to prevent further damage 
and disaster. If everyone does this – be veg – the Earth will begin to 
cool and we will have more time to implement the measures to eliminate 
all the carbon emissions. So please, be veg,and tell everyone else of 
these benefits.
