Leading scientist calls for more immediate emission reductions.
At the International Energy Agency ministerial meeting in Paris, France, Nobel laureate Dr. Rajendra Pachauri, Chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel and Climate Change (IPCC), said that carbon emissions must peak no later than 2015 to stabilize temperatures so they do not exceed 2˚ Celsius or 3.6˚ Fahrenheit.

Moreover, regarding the upcoming December United Nations climate meeting in Denmark, he stated, “It is not enough to set any aspirational goal for 2050, it is critically important that we bring about a commitment to reduce emissions effectively by 2020.”

Dr. Pachauri, we are thankful for this clear reminder of our vital need to act quickly to avoid disastrous consequences. Our prayers that leaders at the December United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change make wise and heroic decisions to ensure the survival of our Earth.

The real solution and the swiftest way to halt our planetary crisis has been highlighted time and again by Supreme Master Ching Hai, as during an October 2008 videoconference in Thailand.


Supreme Master Ching Hai: We must let people know it’s urgent now and it’s time to stop global crisis. Time is short and we must all act as one to save our world from disappearing, to save our lives, and all the lives on the planet. Everything else takes too long.

So the fastest and easiest way is to stop animal products and to stop consumption of it. The result will be almost immediate, within a few weeks.
It’s just the meat industry that causes the most pollution for the planet, that the planet is overloaded, nature is overloaded,the ocean is overloaded. So everything warms up because of meat and animal products.

If we change into vegetarian diet, this planet will become a paradise, will be plentiful, will be peaceful, will be very happy for everybody to live on.

Maldivian cabinet meeting held underwater.
To bring international attention to the threat of rising sea levels faced by the island nation, Saturday’s meeting of the Maldives’ cabinet was held several meters beneath the sea. Donning wet suits and scuba gear, Maldivian President Mohamed Nasheed and 11 government ministers submerged themselves underwater where they endorsed an SOS resolution that will be presented at December’s United Nations climate change conference in Denmark.

The signed document is a call for united international action to address global warming. President Nasheed said, “We want to see that everyone else is also occupied as much as we are [with climate change] and would like to see that people actually do something about it.

If Maldives cannot be saved today we do not feel that there is not much of a chance for the rest of the world." President Nasheed and Maldivian cabinet members, our accolades for your gesture of sincere concern.
Let us all step in unison now toward sustainable lifestyles to preserve the beautiful islands of Maldives and our world.
