Supreme Master Ching Hai has fully given her dedication, guidance and support for humankind to overcome and safeguard our future.

As never before, awareness of the grave state of our planet is at an all time high. Citizens worldwide are calling for action from their governments, aware that there is one chance to correct humanity’s course. At this most urgent point in history, Supreme Master Ching Hai has fully given her dedication, guidance and support for humankind to overcome and safeguard our future. During a telephone interview on climate change agreed to by Supreme Master Ching Hai with the newspaper Irish Independent, the journalist asked if she had a message for the leaders of the world.

Supreme Master Ching Hai: I would say to the world leaders to please give people more ample encouragement for an animal-free lifestyle, because it’s wholesome, it’s healthy, it’s noble, and it will save the world. Please forgo all the needless protocol and policy. It’s an emergency now. We need different actions, and immediate actions to save the world. It’s urgent. Please be a hero leader. The world citizens look up to you for saving their lives, and the future generations will remember your righteous legends. Use your mighty power, for this noble cause. Because you have only one time to take this extraordinary action. We have only one time, only this time to save the planet. Please do it.

VOICE: We are grateful for Supreme Master Ching Hai’s guidance and encouragement to those who truly wish to make a difference for the world. May these unprecedented times be matched by new initiatives in leadership for the survival of all the Earth’s inhabitants.

We also thank the Irish Independent for its stand in providing the public with useful and constructive information for adopting a sustainable lifestyle.

World scientists convene to study hydrology in the Arctic.

 Permafrost conditions, precipitation changes, snow and ice melt. In sum, the Arctic’s hydrological system is highly vulnerable to climate change. An international conference was hosted last week by the University Center in Svalbard in Norway, a world leader for Arctic studies. The participants were led on a field expedition to the North Pole to survey the conditions.


Dr. Stein Beldring, The Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate: What we expect is that the increase in temperature and precipitation will give a larger stream flow throughout most of the year.

Professor Erland Källen, Meteorologist, University of Stockholm, Sweden: The warming in the Arctic is about twice as large as the warming for the globe as a whole. And we see that as the Arctic being particularly sensitive to global climate change. But we also know that the natural variability is very large in the Arctic. So we may have a period of cooling in the Arctic, despite the fact that the whole globe is undergoing a warming.

Professor Jon Ove Hagen, glaciologist, University of Oslo:  What we have seen up here in Svalbard is the retreat of the glaciers over the last 100 years nearly, starting in the 1920s, and since then we have seen a retreat. But over the last 10 years, we have seen an accelerating in the melt rate, mainly caused by longer and warmer melt season in the summer.
Dr. Carl Bøggild, Ice and snow melt researcher, The University Centre in Svalbard, Norway:  Glaciers in Greenland and also in Antarctica and other places are moving much faster than we’d previously thought. That kind of dynamics is not accounted for because it is not fully understood yet, and we need to understand it in order to put it into models in order to make more reliable models for the future. But as is, we may have a higher sea level rise than IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) stated a year ago.
VOICE: With observations were words of concern from those who have seen the greatest effects of climate change firsthand.

Dr. Stein Beldring, The Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate: Climate change concerns us all and we all have a responsibility for trying to make the damage as small as possible.
VOICE: We thank all participants of this conference in the Arctic, an important region that not only gives valuable data, but helps the planet’s climate and oceans stay in balance. May we work to protect all beautiful landscapes from North to South Poles that comprise our earthly abode.
