In
an interview featured on the front page of the United Kingdom's
Tuesday, October 27 issue of The Times, Lord Nicholas Stern, a global
authority on climate change, stated that people need to consider going
vegetarian to overcome climate change.
Lord Stern, who has
previously served as Chief Economist of the World Bank and as advisor to
the United Kingdom, published the Stern Review, an analysis of the
economics of climate change.
He is now warning that unless
actions change, the future holds temperature rises of five degrees
Celsius, which will cause Southern Europe to become a desert and require
hundreds of millions of people to move, leading to global conflict.
Explaining
that such a crisis would come very quickly, he stated, “Meat is a
wasteful use of water and creates a lot of greenhouse gases. It puts
enormous pressure on the world’s resources. A vegetarian diet is
better.”
Our heartfelt thanks, Lord Stern, for your forthright
call for the shift to a veg diet. We applaud your courage and honesty,
and pray that climate change expert and leaders around the globe join in
the planet-saving vegan diet. The benefits and planetary need for a
plant-based lifestyle have been affirmed on many occasions by Supreme
Master Ching Hai, as during an April 2009 videoconference in South
Korea.
Supreme
Master Ching Hai: Some governments already have policies in
place and are encouraging people to go green.But my only concern is that
the changes are not happening quickly enough.
We really need to
stop global warming now, like yesterday, because I’m sorry to say that
while all these green changes are good, there is still one action that
must be on the top of the list, the most important one, which, once
again, is the vegan diet.
The greenest of all the green policy,
the greenest of all the green action, the most compassionate, the most
heroic, the lifesaving action, the vegan diet. It will eliminate
methane, one of the most heat-trapping greenhouse gases. And this will
cool the planet the fastest and give us more time to exercise our green
policy
or finding better technology.
This is the most
valuable step, the vegan step, that the governments could make, could
encourage, could pass into law, could inform the people at large. This
is the realistic way, the only way that I know, the only way that I see
that we can save the planet right now.
