As
global warming causes the oceans to absorb more and more CO2, US
scientists say they are also getting louder, with unknown effects on
marine life. Dr. Richard Zeebe, associate professor of oceanography at
the University of Hawaii in the USA, explained that the rising acidity
from the absorbed gas affects sound propagation, with certain
frequencies becoming more intense.
Further increases in both the
acid content as well as human-generated noise from ships, construction,
seismic surveys and sonar signals could thus severely impair the
cetaceans’ ability to navigate and communicate effectively.
Dr.
Rima Morrell, an animal communicator and member of the United Kingdom’s
Royal Geographical Society and Royal Anthropological Institute, conveyed
in a telephone interview with Supreme Master Television further
information about how whales in particular respond to such harmful human
actions.
Dr. Rima A Morrell –
Founder, Living Ark Sanctuary, Member of the Royal Geographical Society
and Royal Anthropological Institute (F): Suddenly the ocean which
was once a place of freedom is being restricted by these noises and
these objects that humans have put there.
And mothers and babies
are losing each other, and that kind of thing never used to happen.
However, despite what is happening to the ocean, the whales themselves
remain very balanced and they are delighted by the joy that that humans
get through contact with them.
And that is indeed why they chose to actually come towards humans and leap around and surface there where humans are.
VOICE:
Dr. Morrell, Dr. Zeebe and colleagues, our gratitude for this study
which calls attention to a new aspect of climate change and its damaging
effects. May we all unite in efforts to protect the oceans and our
planet.
Highlighting the value of all animal co-inhabitants to
the welfare of humanity, Supreme Master Ching Hai has often shared an
understanding of the gifts they bring to our world, as in an August 2009
videoconference in Thailand.
Supreme Master Ching Hai:
The animals are truly noble, gentle beings, selfless, and in harmony
with one another, the environment, and with Heaven. Their role has
always been since time immemorial to bring love and blessing to the
world with their pure presence.
If we would only stop harming
and torturing them and killing them, and give them a chance to fulfill
their God-given mission, then our planet will be saved and will be kept
in splendor.
They wait on the sidelines in full support of
humans, for the day they can be our friends again, truly, not our
victims. On that day of peacemaking between humans and animals, our eyes
may begin to be opened to our co-inhabitants’ true magnificent roles on
Earth.
