With
melting of the country’s massive ice sheet having more than doubled in
the last decade, a study led by scientist Dr. Fiammetta Straneo of Woods
Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts, USA found that warmer
waters coming into Greenland’s fjords are eroding the foundation of
their glaciers, causing them
to descend more quickly into the ocean.
While
such an effect is known in the Antarctic, this is the first time it has
been indicated in Greenland as well. Senior research scientist Eric
Rignot of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in the USA conducted a
similarly-timed study, which found that up to 75% of Greenland’s ice
loss was due to these warming waters.
Climatologists have stated
that the melting of Greenland’s ice sheet could rise sea levels by 7
meters, which would cause low-lying coastal cities and deltas worldwide
to vanish.
Thank you Drs. Straneo, Rignot and colleagues for
your work that shows more of the alarming effects of global warming. May
we swiftly turn to eco-actions and kinder deeds to restore our Earth’s
balance.
Supreme Master Ching Hai, who has frequently spoken of
the actions needed to alleviate our planetary crisis, again addressed
the urgency of the situation during an August 2009 videoconference in
Thailand.
Supreme Master Ching Hai:
Everything is heating up so quickly, as we can see from the scientists’
reports on such alarming upheaval, such as rising sea levels and
glaciers melting. So we must work quickly to avoid such unwanted
outcomes. And the most effective way, as I have mentioned, is the
organic vegan diet, organic vegetable farming.
This is also the
fastest way to reverse the increased warming climate to prevent further
damage and disaster. The more people who understand and change, the more
chance our world will be saved in time.
