The Arctic Ice Sheet in 1979
  

2003 Arctic Ice Sheet
 

Arctic ice sheet in the accelerated melting, the ocean where the ice disappeared faster than ever before. This is by far the most obvious signs of global warming. American first-class climatologist warned that we had only 10 years to save the planet.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) research institute uses a different satellite monitoring technology, the results show that in the past two years, with the disappearance of the Arctic ice sheet, some places have become a rough sea. Since 1979, the average annual melting rate has been 0.15% since the observation of the Arctic ice sheet by satellites, and the melting rate has suddenly increased to 6% over the past two winter months.

This change is a source of concern for scientists and all sensible people, because it goes far beyond the speed of melting the Arctic ice sheet predicted by the computer model in the past due to global warming. According to the original estimate, if the climate does not interfere with the change, the Arctic ice sheet in 2070 will completely disappear. But if this new acceleration trend has been maintained, the Arctic ice sheet will disappear for decades.

This change has a huge impact. First, the polar bear, which relies on the Arctic ice pack, will be extinct, including small polar bears that are still in their infancy. Second, the devastating "feedback" mechanism will accelerate global warming. The white ice that reflects the sun disappears, and the dark sea water of the Arctic Ocean absorbs a lot of heat from the sun, and the weather around the world gets hotter. Most importantly, the new trends tell people that the process of climate change is much faster than scientists had expected.

Not only the melting of the Arctic ice sheet itself will make the global sea level rise, a huge iceberg floating in the sea, it has caused the sea level rise. The glaciers covered in Greenland and the Antarctic land are huge, and the temperature rise of the Arctic ice caps is also affecting the ice, and they are melting. If the western Antarctic ice is completely collapsed, the world's sea level will rise by 5 meters, and many places will be submerged.

How to deal with the growing global warming problem? British Environment Minister Ben Bradshaw recently warned the public of the new public service website (Directgov) that if the climate change continues to be out of control, the British people may return to the second World War time food quota The type of life provided by Blyde Xiao pointed out that the impact of the food production process on the greenhouse effect is equivalent to the impact of private transport, and the consumption of meat in the diet is a permanent measure of stable climate change.

"The production of meat and dairy products has a greater impact on climate warming and other environmental impacts than most cereals, legumes and vegetables," said the UK government's new website (www.direct.gov.uk/greenerfood) "The fruit of the fruit production will benefit many people," said Rosamund Raha, director of the News Center for the British Vegetarian Association. "It is pleased that at least the government has found that eating meat and dairy products will produce climate and the environment But expect the government to encourage the promotion of the most environmentally friendly vegetarian. "

To satisfy the appetite of meat, you need to consume more energy and land to keep all kinds of livestock and poultry. According to Harvard University nutritionists estimate that the production of one pound of beef or mutton requires 8 pounds of cereals for feed. In other words, if the Americans consume 10% of their food for nearly 10 years, the saved grain will allow 600 million people to eat. According to statistics, for the livestock to consume more than 2/3 of the arable land; earth man-made methane, animal husbandry accounted for 16%, and methane is one of the main greenhouse gases. In general, meat production, packaging, transportation and cooking consume far more energy than plant foods, and the proportion of human behavior that triggers the global greenhouse effect is as high as 25%, while the greenhouse effect of the aircraft is only Accounting for 2%. It can be said that edible meat is the main factor that leads to climate anomalies after transport and housing energy consumption.

Vegetarian is the most reasonable and healthy diet of mankind, people who do not understand this point may be worried, but the history of the Ming can completely eliminate people's doubts: in the two world wars, the vegetarian movement has been vigorously promoted. As a result of the German blockade, the Danish government was worried about a food shortfall crisis and asked the Danish Vegetarians to design a food rationing plan, resulting in a significant increase in the health of the Danes in wartime and a significant reduction in mortality. At that time the general citizens eat only rough bread, cereal, potatoes, vegetables and milk. In the Second World War, Norway also had the same experience that they reduced the consumption of meat, the increase in grains and vegetables, and the death of the nation due to circulatory diseases, After the war, Norway resumed pre-war eating habits, and circulatory disease mortality rose to pre-war levels. In contrast, after World War II, the living standards of many people have improved rapidly, meat and poultry have become their main food, and to many countries to promote this new diet, but unexpected The incidence of cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes and obesity in these countries has risen sharply.

For details of the benefits of vegetarian food, please benefit from the environmental protection of a vegetarian reason, from avian flu and other epidemics in the opposite vegetarian, do further understanding. For their own health, for the survival of the earth, we choose the most suitable for human vegetarian!
