The National
Autonomous University
of Mexico (UNAM)
released a new report
affirming that recent
heavy snow storms
seen throughout Europe,
Mexico and
the United States are
linked to climate change.
Dr. Carlos Gay,
coordinator of
the university's
Research Program
on Climate Change,
explained that heavier
snowfall is consistent
with the concept of
global warming, because
warmer temperatures
cause more moisture to
stay in the atmosphere,
leading to increased
precipitation.
In a colder region
with low temperatures,
the condensed moisture
becomes snow
instead of rain.
These extreme
precipitation patterns
are also expected
to continue because
of the redistribution of
water that is occurring
as global warming causes
moisture to be lost
from polar regions
due to ice melt.
This explanation
of severe snowfall
as seen in the northern
hemisphere's 2010
winter season has been
supported by
Dr. Athanasios Koutavas,
a climate paleontologist
at College of
Staten Island
in New York, USA,
who stated,
“Globally speaking,
the hydrologic cycle
will intensify,
with more evaporation,
more precipitation...
We are going to be
getting more rain, and…
the snow storms
will deliver more
snowfall than in the past.
These are the general
predictions,
and this winter seems
to speak to those trends.”
Many thanks,
Drs. Gay, Koutavas and
colleagues for aiding
our understanding of
the disturbingly
unusual weather patterns
experienced in many
regions of the globe.
Through such insights,
may we rapidly adopt
lifestyle choices that
create fast-acting solutions
to climate change.
In her efforts
to uplift humanity,
Supreme Master Ching Hai
has often highlighted
the underlying causes
of these extreme
global events, along with
the urgent need for actions
to halt them,
as in an August 2009
videoconference
in Thailand.
Supreme Master Ching Hai : What's more,
we have more reports
of unending drought,
freezing weather, storms
and animal species
and even plant
and tree species
slipping away
faster and faster, because
they are unable to withstand
the global warming
consequences.
These are truly almost
always the consequence
of humans' violent actions.
The number 1 action
is meat eating.
So, we are grateful
we have a few more days
to help more of our
fellow world citizens
to change
to the benevolent diet
to save our planet.
But, these days
are still numbered.
We can't prolong forever.
We can stop the disasters,
make them go away
for good, forever,
make all the unfavorable
situations,
threatening weather
go away if all of us
switch to the
organic vegan diet.
