In this episode, speakers share practical solutions to stop global warming and climate change, along with the advantages of plant-based diets.
(First, let’s start with Dr. Singh. What is going on with this planet? I understand that you have some shocking new data to tell us about and it involves global warming. We want to hear it, and the world wants to hear it. Tell us about it.)
Dr. Singh: Let me get to the point. We passed the tipping point. The tipping point has been reached about a year ago. And what scientists are not talking about is that carbon is not the problem. There are three or four other gases, and at the top of them (first) is methane. Methane is 23 times more toxic than the carbon footprint. What happened at Kyoto Protocol was politicians got together and developed a document that was compromising the message. We talked about CO2, and the world knows about CO2 now. But CO2 alone is not the problem. Methane is.
Besides methane, there is nitrous oxide, 300 times more toxic. Now, when you mix all of those gases, and you start looking at what that’s doing to the global footprint, global warming is accelerating at a very, very fast rate.
And today, we need to know the truth, that this scientific data that we are seeing today has gone far beyond where we think we’d be. Five years ago, we’re saying the world will lose its ice caps in 60 years. We’re losing them in four years now. We’re revising every fact every single day because some of these things that we are not paying attention to are the leading causes.
And this leading cause, when you start looking at methane –methane comes from the permafrost. Methane comes from the oceans warming up. And methane comes from animal breeding. When you mix all of these three things, you’ll find we are now heading towards a catastrophe in a shorter period of time than anyone has ever planned for.
Prince Charles said beyond 18 months, we (would) have passed the tipping point. We have passed, you would say, the point where we cannot return. But, we as human society, we can do a lot. We can do a lot to make changes in our lives. This comes down to you and us. It’s about no longer saying who else is out there that we can blame. We are the solution. We are the problem. (That’s for sure.)
(Dr. Singh, you have a question to ask Supreme Master?)
What I wanted to ask is that given all the facts that we’re seeing, given the facts on the ground, the changes that are happening, what else out there that the human eye is not able to see? What else the world needs to know that we do not know about at the present moment? That would be my question.
Master: Alright. I can only tell you what I know, and perhaps you know already. Concerning the point of no return, I’m happy to inform you that we have not passed it yet. Alright?
And what Prince Charles meant was that, at that time, we had about 18 months to change our destiny, like we should go vegan completely, go green quickly to save the planet. But now, I am very happy to inform you, if anyone believes my humble opinion or insight, that we have gained like a total of three years from… three years plus from… Let me see, let me see how many much more – three years and four months we have now, Dr. Singh, to change. (Thank You.) This is what I know from meditation inside; I cannot prove it to you. But, in case you believe it, it’s good. If you don’t, we still have three years and four months.
And on this note, I would like to thank the new vegan comers, who joined the circle of the noble elite, who live without blood on their hands, who live as an example of peace that begins with themselves and begins on their dinner tables. Because of this, because of the effort of everyone on this planet who is aware of our predicament at the moment, they have been trying to work very hard to go out of their way to spread the news, the information about the danger we are facing, and also to spread the news about the solution we could all take action on to save the planet. Therefore, many more people are joining our vegan circle now, and that’s why we have gained time.
I know we have also planted trees, a little technology here and there, changing some bulbs and all that, and turning off the lights for one hour here and there. These also help but very little compared to the blessing merit of vegan diet. Because once they turn their heart in this compassionate direction, the compassionate and loving energy that generates is enormous. That’s why we can combat the negative power that wants to destroy our planet before we could even have a chance to be awakened spiritually.
So, I’m very happy to tell you we have a little time. And as we go on, maybe we gain more time. And let’s hope so. Thank you so much, Dr. Singh. Don’t worry. We’re OK for now. I mean, not really OK, we’re not really OK, but we are OK. We have hope. And we’re working. You are working. We are working together, and perhaps we still can make it. Who knows, Dr. Singh? Miracles can always happen. (Absolutely.)
(Thank You. Now Dr. Jim Stewart, can you share with us the depth and the scope of the crisis that we’re facing? Exactly how serious is this?)
Dr. Jim Stewart: Well, I think that Dr. Singh has already talked about a lot of the crisis, but we can, of course, talk about some specifics in terms of the sea level rising. And if we do lose the Greenland Ice Cap and the West Antarctic Ice Shelf, the sea level will rise 40 to 50 feet, or 14 meters, and that will of course devastate many, many countries in the world.
We’re also facing a crisis relative to the droughts in some places and floods in other places, as we’re well aware of.
And the water crisis is becoming even worse because of the fact that the increase in global temperature means that crops actually need more water to be able to grow. Therefore, at the same time as we’re getting less water, we’re getting less snowfall and less opportunity to save water in the mountains; we’re also needing more water. And of course, everyone is well aware of the fact that the forests are also drying out, and so we’re having much, much more prevalent forest fires and much more intense than we ever had before.
But I do want to bring a bit of hope to this situation, and that is, we do not need to wait for any new technologies. The technology is available within 10 years to go 100% renewable electricity.
Another solution, in addition of course to veganism that we’ve been talking about, is organic farming. The scientists, and perhaps Dr. Galt can tell a bit more about this, but the scientists have shown that organic farming sequesters far more carbon than the normal kind of pesticide etcetera farming. And so if we could get everybody to go organic farming, we would really save a lot of greenhouse gas emissions.
The other ray of hope that I would like to present to us today is contained in an act that’s called AB32 in California. It’s the Global Warming Solutions Act. And just a few weeks ago, they came out with their proposal for the Draft Scoping Plan. The fact that this plan is even in existence is totally inspiring. Because what this plan does is, it looks at all of the major global warming emissions that are happening from the entire State of California, and all the 36 million people that live here and all the industries, and they have calculated how much it would require to make the reductions to get back to 1990 levels by the year 2020, which is about a 30% reduction from business as usual. And they have gone through, and they have come up with a detailed proposal of how they can reach the 170 million tons per year by 2020 in terms of the reductions. And I recommend that all of you go on the website. It’s www.arb.ca.gov. And the Air Resources Board for the State of California has this plan, and they also are asking for comments.
And I want to say, that the mention in this plan of agriculture is woefully inadequate. There’s no mention made of organic agriculture, which has been proven to save global warming. There’s no mention made of the aid that would happen if people went to vegan diets. And so you are invited on this website to go make your comments. And I urge all of you and everyone throughout the entire world that’s listening to this broadcast to go. You don’t have to be a California resident to comment on this. Because this plan is a blueprint. This plan could be the plan to save the entire planet.
The final thing I want to say is that I want all of you to take a look at this plan and work with your local city, state, and nation to ensure that this kind of comprehensive plan is taken and implemented right now. (That’s good.) (What’s the website?) arb.ca.gov
(Do You have any comments, Supreme Master?)
Master: Wonderful speech, wonderful. We probably have hope, hey? Yes. Will anybody please log on to that and comment, the way Dr. Jim Stewart said? Would we do that? (Yes.) (Yes, absolutely, Master.) It’s a very good initiative, Dr. Jim, and I wholly agree with you. (Thank You very much, Master.)
It would go a step further if we go vegan, to take care of the other half. And if we all go vegan now, then we could even keep the old technology until all can be replaced, because a vegan diet takes care of 80% reduction of pollution that causes global warming, according to the calculation from the scientists’ evidence.
