A
four-member panel of scientists organized by the American Association
for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), with the support of US Senator
Tom Harkin of Iowa, has warned of an impending agriculture calamity as
crops are impacted by climate change.
Senior research scientist
Dr. Cynthia Rosenzweig of the US National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA) explained that the nation’s Northwest and
Southeast regions are already seeing significantly reduced rainfall,
while other areas are seeing higher-than-average rainfall, both of which
adversely affect crop yields.
Meanwhile, abnormal temperatures
are also hampering the proper development of crops. The panel further
warned that unstable agriculture could double grain prices by 2050,
which could set off civil unrest.
These experts called for mitigation strategies to curb anticipated crop failures and low yields across the globe.
Alarming
as they are, your warnings are appreciated, Dr. Rosenzweig and
colleagues. Let us quickly make the greenest, most sustainable switch to
the organic vegan lifestyle to ensure global food and overall security.
Supreme Master Ching Hai has frequently emphasized such
critical dangers associated with global warming, as during an August
2009 videoconference in Thailand, where she also highlighted the fastest
solution.
Supreme Master Ching Hai:
The leaders of the nations must do something. The people of all nations
must do something. Just because we can still sit here pretty and talk,
just because in our area there is not yet water shortage or food prices
going up, doesn’t mean it will not happen to us soon.
We have to
do something to avoid the tragedy that is already happening to billions
of other people. There are one billion people hungry already because of
climate change, and short of water and food.
Please take action
now. Very simple. Just be veg. Just be veg is truly enough for now. And
it will be enough for a long future to come.
