An
analysis of 60 years of data from more than 200 weather stations in the
US states of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New
Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Vermont found a
predominance of extreme precipitation events, which are defined as
storms that produced at least 1 inch of rain or its water equivalent in
snow over a 24-hour period.
Researchers from the US-based
organization Clean Air-Cool Planet and University of New Hampshire's
Carbon Solutions New England stated that average annual precipitation
also increased nearly three-quarters of an inch per decade over the
60-year period.
Although the storms and flooding in March that
caused extensive damage throughout the northeastern states were not
counted in the study findings, scientists say that these could easily be
considered part of the global warming effect, with more in store if
climate change continues.
Many thanks Clean Air-Cool Planet and
University of New Hampshire’s Carbon Solutions New England for this
revealing research. Let us swiftly adopt more sustaining lifestyles to
stabilize the environment and preserve our precious Earth.
During
a November 2009 videoconference in Mexico, Supreme Master Ching Hai
also addressed the increased threats induced by global warming while
highlighting the most effective solution.
Supreme Master Ching Hai:
Some of the global warming effects that we hear about are a continued
rise in the Earth’s atmospheric temperature, warming of the ocean, along
with acidification, more frequent and stronger storms, prolonged
droughts and intensified heat waves, soil desertification, plant and
animal extinctions, and even melting of permafrost, which could trigger
massive releases of more methane gas! That would be catastrophic beyond
an unthinkable scale.
Supreme Master Ching Hai:
The rising intensity and frequency of storms comes from the warming of
the ocean which changes weather patterns. Climate change is not an
abstract concept at all. It is here and now, affecting our neighbors,
affecting us, and more and more.
Supreme Master Ching Hai:
Researchers in the US came up with a simple comparison. According to
calculations they performed, they concluded that eating a vegan diet for
a year is more effective at cooling the planet than driving a hybrid
vehicle for the same period of time.
So, the solution is very
simple. We just have to turn away from the animal products. We stop
eating meat, dairy, eggs, fish. If everyone does this, we will have a
transformed world in no time.
