A
report by Australia's top science bodies, the Commonwealth Scientific
and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) and the Bureau of
Meteorology sounds the alarm about the imminent dangers of climate
change.
Saying that temperatures have risen about 0.7 degrees
Celsius in the last 50 years, the report also states that both CO2 and
methane are at their highest levels in perhaps 20 million years.
As
a result, every region of the country is warming during every season,
and each decade surpasses the previous decades’ temperature records. Sea
levels rising by 9 cm between 1993 and 2009 along with changes in
precipitation represent other marked consequences of climate change,
with rainfall in the north and central parts of the country increasing
substantially while decreases in the south and east have led to severe
droughts.
Scientists at Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and
Industrial Research Organization and the Bureau of Meteorology, we are
grateful for this report which is also a call to action.
May we
all unite in restoring harmony and balance to our Earth. In an October
2009 videoconference in Indonesia, Supreme Master Ching Hai referred to
the experts’ increasingly serious reports on climate change, and
reiterated the most urgently needed countermeasures.
Supreme Master Ching Hai:
Now, according to expert scientists, the atmospheric temperatures are
rising so steeply that we do not have much time left to change. And that
is just what they have predicted up to date.
The effects of
climate change can be seen in so many ways, with increased flooding,
droughts, fires and even earthquakes everywhere in the world.
How
do we stop these alarming changes The greenhouse gases released from
the animals, from their waste, agricultural runoff, and the activities
related to these massive operations have been identified as the primary,
the number one cause of global warming.
We have to halt the
meat consumption and the livestock raising Instead, we should choose to
buy organic vegetable and fruit products to save our lives and those of
our families, save the animals and the planet.
