Global warming accelerates carbon dioxide release. Plant ecologist Dr. Ellen Dorrepaal, and colleagues of VU University Amsterdam in the Netherlands studied sub-Arctic peatlands in northern Sweden and found that a one degree Celsius rise in temperature speeds respiration rates of total ecosystems by up to 60 percent, with effects that can continue for at least eight years.
This is much higher than previously thought, highlighting the sensitivity of the vast peatland area to warming trends.Our appreciation Dr. Dorrepaal and team for this vital research showing yet another alarming impact of climate change on our planet.
Let us all act now to preserve our Earth and her inhabitants. The dangerous implications of global warming have often been cited by Supreme Master Ching Hai, who highlighted the most effective way to reverse its effects in an August 2008 interview with Ireland’s East Coast FM Radio.
Supreme Master Ching Hai: According to the scientists, whatever they have predicted or prescribed about our critical situation is accurate up to 99%. They want us to change the way we live our lives, to protect our fragile ecosystem, by cutting down CO2 emissions.
And the fastest way that individuals can do, without a lot of protocol and ado, is to be veg.
It’s truly critical now, as we have witnessed increasing disaster worldwide, due to climate change.
We still have time, we still have a little time to change the course of destiny, thanks to the vegetarian population, old and new members that reduce the most karmic retribution in the shortest span of time.

Six corporations each took delivery of an all-electric truck during a ceremony led by US Senator Kit Bond and Presidential Assistant on Energy and Climate Change Carol Browner in Washington, DC.
The event was held to mark Smith Electric Vehicle’s release of the new commercial trucks, which can travel at a speed of 50 miles per hour, drive 100 miles between charges, and carry about 16,000 pounds.
The vehicles also feature a regenerative braking system that reclaims energy during stop-start operations, which transforms the disadvantage of many urban driving situations into a benefit.
Bravo, Smith Electric Vehicles and US corporations, for your partnership in green transportation! We look forward to seeing more and more clean operating commercial vehicles like these on the road.

A team of 300 volunteers has set the Guinness World Record for tree planting with over half a million young mangroves planted in a single day. The planting event was held in a unique sanctuary of biodiversity near the Indus River Delta in the Southern Sindh Province of Pakistan.
Richard Garstang, the head of World Wildlife Fund (WWF) Pakistan Wetlands Program, said, "This is a wonderful example of partnership between government, local communities and the private sector for a common cause, for conservation."
Way to go, volunteers and Pakistan, for your wonderful contribution and eco-accomplishment! Blessed be your cooperative and planet-cooling endeavors in restoring natural harmony to your beautiful nation.
