An
iceberg the size of the country Luxembourg was recently knocked loose
from the Antarctic continent by an older iceberg known as B9B, which had
split off in 1987. The new iceberg contains approximately one-fifth
the total water used worldwide.
Climate experts are now
concerned for the ice-free area that used to be protected by the
now-displaced ice. As this area provides 25% of the Antarctic’s bottom
water, changes in its environment could impact ocean currents that
distribute heat and oxygen to waters around the globe.
Such
disruption could be devastating, as noted by German oceanographer Dr.
Mario Hoppema, who said, “There may be regions of the world’s oceans
that lose oxygen, and then of course most of the life there will die.”
We
are grateful Dr. Hoppema and all scientists for your comprehensive
assessment of these unsettling and large-scale changes in the Antarctic.
May we all foster lifestyles that restore harmony to our shared
ecosphere. In a July 2008 videoconference with Supreme Master
Television staff in California, USA, Supreme Master Ching Hai emphasized
once more our need to act in ways that enhance the survival of all life
on Earth.
Supreme Master Ching Hai:
If people change to a more benevolent lifestyle that is respecting all
lives, then we will beget life and our lives be spared. And nature will
restore the balance and repair all damages.
I wish to see that
day soon, in my lifetime. It’s still repairable. But people have to
realize this, and they have to know it’s urgent and they have to
cooperate. The more vegan people join the circle, the more chance we
have to save the planet.
