Crops produced in the US could decline in yields by as much as 82% due
to global warming, according to a study published in Proceedings of the
National Academy of Sciences.
Dr. Michael Roberts and Dr. Wolfram Schlenker of North Carolina State
University in the USA studied the critical threshold of several crops
and found that warmer temperatures significantly impacted yields
starting at only 29°C for corn, 30°C for soybeans and 32°C for cotton.
Thank you Drs. Roberts, Schlenker and all researchers involved in this eye-opening study.
Our prayers for swift and widespread measures of compassion to halt this damaging trend and ensure food security for all.
Supreme Master Ching Hai often encourages practices of greater care and
consideration to help restore the stabilityof our ecosphere, as during
an October 2008 global warming videoconference in Thailand.
Supreme Master Ching Hai: We
cannot prepare much. Even if we stockpile some food and all that, it is
not always helpful. It just makes the world food shortage worsen.
So, we can only rely on the good karma that we can create. And that we can do.
We
can save ourselves right now by turning to the vegetarian diet which is
benevolent, which is very compassionate,and by being compassionate to
others, Heaven will be compassionate to us.
Then you can see immediately the weather will change.
Everything
will return to a more peaceful abundance because Heaven is merciful. So
if we want to have a good result, we have to start doing good. Be veg,
go green,and do good deeds.
