Presenting the 2009 Walter Orr Roberts Distinguished Lecture
during the Conference on World Affairs held at the University of
Colorado, USA, Dr. James Hansen, respected climatologist and Director of
the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Goddard Institute
for Space Studies, spoke of the urgency of addressing climate change.
Regarding the current state of atmospheric
greenhouse
gases, he noted, “We have already passed into the dangerous zone.” Dr.
Hansen went on to say that if such gas emissions are not reduced
immediately, “We would be sending the planet toward an ice free state.
We would … be creating a very different planet, and chaos for our
children.”
In an interview with Supreme Master Television on March 19, Dr. Hansen offered two key preventative actions.
Dr. James Hansen – World leading climatologist, Chief of NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, USA (M):
On a personal basis, perhaps the most important thing you can do is
change your diet to a more vegetarian diet, because that is a major
contributor to carbon, to not only carbon dioxide, but also methane and other greenhouse
gases. You also have to put pressure on the politicians to address the
coal issue. If we could do those two things, then the planet would be on
much safer grounds.
VOICE: Our grateful thanks, Dr. Hansen and all brave scientists who
are sounding the alarm about our need to act now in caring for the
fragile environment. Let us heed your call toward swift actions to
protect our only Earthly home.
In July 2008, the videoconference entitled “Climate Change
International Conference” was held in West Hollywood, California, USA
with experts on health, science and the media. Highlighting the
endangered situation of our planet, Supreme Master Ching Hai called on
all people to turn to most urgently needed solution of the animal-free
diet.

“Climate Change International Conference” July 26, 2008 – West Hollywood, California, USA
Supreme Master Ching Hai: So, I have only one
solution, that is being vegetarian, and the sooner the better, and then
everything else we will have time to take care. We will have time to
develop different technology, we will have time to invent new cars, we
will have time to tackle many other things that right now are not that
urgent as the planetary warming. Because truly it might destroy the
whole planet and we will all go. And this is still a very beautiful
planet, it’s still repairable. So just one request: vegetarian diet.
