Dr. Jonathan Patz, Lead author of United Nations
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reports, Professor of
Environment and Public Health:
According
to the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the
IPCC, in their latest report, climate scientists now say with 90%
certainty that the warming we are having today, and especially in the
last 50 years is from human activity.
It means we have an obligation to try to solve it and to reduce
our burning of fossil fuels and also other issues like livestock
agriculture. Having a meat diet is actually very energy consumptive.
IRISH INDEPENDENT VOICE:
As never before, awareness of the grave state of our planet is at an all time high.
Citizens worldwide are calling for action from their governments, aware that there is one chance to correct humanity's course.
During a telephone interview on climate change agreed to by
Supreme Master Ching Hai with the newspaper Irish Independent, the
journalist asked
if she had a message for the leaders of the world.
Supreme Master Ching Hai: I
would say to the world leaders to please give people more ample
encouragement for an animal-free lifestyle, because it's wholesome, it's
healthy, it's noble, and it will save the world. Please forgo all the
needless protocol and policy.
It's an emergency now. We need different actions, and immediate actions to save the world.
It's
urgent. Please be a hero leader. The world citizens look up to you for
saving their lives, and the future generations will remember your
righteous legends.
Use your mighty power, for this noble cause. Because you have only one time to take this extraordinary action.
We have only one time, only this time to save the planet.
Please do it.
