from the University of New South Wales in Australia and Purdue University in the USA

probed the long-term consequences of greenhouse gas emissions. Their findings were simple

but conclusive: If climate change is not halted promptly, it will not be long before the world

can no longer sustain human life. Study coauthor Professor Tony McMichael explained, “Under

realistic scenarios extending out to 2300, we may be faced with temperature increases

of 12 degrees (Celsius) or even more. If this happens, our current worries about sea level

rise, occasional heat waves and bushfires, biodiversity loss and agricultural difficulties

will pale into insignificance beside a major threat, (which is that) as much as half of

the currently inhabited globe may simply become too hot for people to live there.”

Professor McMichael and fellow Purdue and New South Wales University scientists, we

thank you for your work in assessing the direct human impact of global warming. May such tragic

scenarios be averted through our unified steps to restore planetary harmony and stability.

This urgent message has long been emphasized by Supreme Master Ching Hai, who again reminded

of the planet-cooling actions needed during a November 2009 videoconference in Washington,

D.C., USA.

Videoconference with Supreme Master Ching Hai

Washington, D.C., USA – November 8, 2009

Supreme Master Ching Hai: We still have a little time to change; it’s just that we

need to act now, you see, to profit from this so-called catastrophic future awaiting us.

We have to act now for all of humanity. Because along with our own survival and health, there

is an entire planet that is in trouble, and everyone needs to be vegan to save it. It’s

a very simple solution that we might overlook. Because if we all change to vegan, put down

the animal products, then we would have a dream world - that I promise. Because like

begets like.
