The House Magazine interviews Supreme Master Ching Hai.
The September 18 issue of The House Magazine of the United Kingdom, a publication read widely by British Members of Parliament, is featuring an interview with Supreme Master Ching Hai.

In the interview, Supreme Master Ching Hai shares her thoughts on the urgency of climate change, explaining how world leaders can ensure that their climate policies secure our future rather than pushing global warming past the point of no return.

Supreme Master Ching Hai also offers insight on related pressing topics such as biodiversity and world hunger, and presents the necessary logic for decision-makers to promote the planet-cooling organic vegan diet.

Valued as a resource for key policy issues, The House Magazine is distributed primarily among British legislators; with the next issue released first on September 21 during the Liberal Democrats Party Conference, next at the Labor Party Conference from September 27 to 28, and finally during the Conservative party
conference on October 4.

Also read by private citizens, businesses, academia and local governments, The House Magazine is available to interested subscribers.

We appreciate The House Magazine for helping inform the esteemed Members of Parliament and other readers about the vital ways to solve the urgent planetary crisis.

We especially thank Supreme Master Ching Hai for her concern and tireless efforts to offer guidance to all audiences. May all government leaders in the world heed the call for wise decisions to save the planet in time.
Please tune in for the broadcast of this interview at a later date on Supreme Master Television’s Words of Wisdom with multi-language subtitles.

Climate change devastating Africa.
A combined report by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the World Economic and Social Survey (WESS) is published by the United Nations Department for Economic and Social Affairs each year.

This year’s report highlights the projected demise of African countries due to encroaching global warming effects, many of which are already measurably real.

In northern Africa, for example, rising temperatures and a growing population in Egypt are forecast to bring desperate requirements for more water, while yields from crops like rice and soybeans are expected to decline.

Further irregular weather patterns in the east and west parts of the continent will result in more flooding and permanent threats to agriculture, with higher incidence of malaria, even in areas that are currently malaria-free.

And crop production in places like southern Africa could be reduced by as much as 90%. We appreciate this report, United Nations Department for Economic and Social Affairs and contributors, despite its saddening forecast.

May government leaders and individuals alike unite in finding ways to live sustainably together on our shared planetary home.

Supreme Master Ching Hai once again expressed her compassionate concern for our global crisis, specifically as it affects the African people, during a May 2009 videoconference in Togo.

Supreme Master Ching Hai: Sadly, global warming is affecting African countries in all the severest and some of the most visible ways. There are more frequent droughts, heat waves, floods, storms, frosts, freezes, and locusts than before. These impacts of climate change increase food insecurity and the food crisis in Africa. There is also increased risk of diseases such as malaria because the mosquitoes spread to higher altitudes.

The United Nations is afraid that hundreds of millions of people in Africa are at risk.

This is just a handful of all the news reports coming out about global warming in your land. I’m sure there are more.So let us try our best to help remind and encourage our leaders to do something.

Supreme Master Ching Hai: If the world becomes vegan as a group, we can remedy the disasters that affect us globally.

The cost of global warming inaction is high.
In their report, "Climate Change in the United States: The Prohibitive Costs of Inaction," the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) compiled results from over 60 studies, concluding that the costs of ignoring global warming in the US are much higher than addressing it.

The price of inaction was found to include tens of billions of dollars in the Midwest region for increased flooding and torrential rainstorms; US$60 billion annual losses in real estate in the Southeast due to sea levels rising, and on the west coast, property damage in the billions from wildfires every year.

Saying mitigation costs would be minimal by comparison, Union of Concerned Scientists climate economist Rachel Cleetus stated, “The investments we need to make in a clean energy economy are clearly affordable and will pay major dividends. What we can't afford are the steep and rising costs of doing nothing.” Of note is a related report from the Netherlands, which found that the funds required for curbing climate change are dramatically reduced as meat is removed from the diet, achieving an 80% savings with a vegan lifestyle.

Many thanks, Ms. Cleetus, Union of Concerned Scientists and Netherlands’ researchers, for this important analysis. Let us all move quickly to address climate change through the vegan diet as the optimal and most economic way to save our planet.

We still have a little time, if we do it. And the more vegetarian people join us, we will have. That is the thing. Green technology, planting trees does help, but this is very secondary, very little. But the vegetarian diet will help stop 80% of the global warming and save our lives.
