With
data that was recorded across 29 observatories, including the base of
Mount Everest, China’s Meteorological Administration reported that 2009
temperatures were the warmest on record and that precipitation was the
lowest in nearly 40 years.
Saying that the Tibet Autonomous
Region is particularly vulnerable to climate change effects, Zheng
Guoguang, head of China’s Meteorological Administration stated, “The
impact of global warming has accelerated glacial shrinkage and the
melting glaciers have swollen Tibet’s lakes... If the warming continues,
millions of people … would face floods in the short term and drought in
the long run.”
Many thanks Mr. Zheng and China’s Meteorological
Administration, for these factual observations that highlight our
global predicament. As we pray for the safety of people in Tibet’s
Autonomous Region and beyond, let us all hasten our efforts to restore
the ecosphere.
As on previous occasions, Supreme Master Ching
Hai spoke with concern of the rising toll of climate change during an
October 2009 videoconference in Hong Kong, along with the actions needed
to avert a planetary crisis.
Supreme Master Ching Hai: Tens
of thousands of lakes and rivers throughout the world are drying out
now due to global warming and glaciers melting. It is thus only a matter
of time Knowing this, it would be best if we adopt the lifestyle that
will restore the stability of our environment and benefit all beings in
the world, which surely is the compassionate way of life, beginning with
a vegan diet – no animal products.
