Press conference ahead of Lingjiu Mountain Spiritual Ecology International Forum: Experts warn that the earth’s energy is imbalanced, and human beings’ endless material desires are the root cause

Lingjiu Mountain will host the International Forum on Spiritual Ecology, and will hold a pre-press conference today (1st). Former Central Meteorological Director Zheng Mingdian reminded that from an energy point of view, the earth system absorbs far more energy than it dissipates. It is out of balance and climate change cannot go back. However, greenhouse gas emissions are only the result because human beings pursue material enjoyment without end. He calls on all walks of life to find a balanced solution across fields.

The Museum of World Religions, together with Life Peace University and National Cheng Kung University, will organize a series of international exchange activities, hoping to bring together experts and religious figures from all walks of life to protect the earth from ecological and spiritual perspectives. Venerable Xianle, CEO of the Museum Development Foundation and Supervisor of Life Peace University, expressed concern that religious conflicts will turn into wars that will damage the earth. All religions should work together and start from ecological protection. In the near future, experts and religious representatives will be invited to dialogue to talk about how to view ecology.

Shu Menglan, a senior media person who has been documenting natural ecology in various places for a long time, said that in the past 15 years of filming documentaries, she has visited more than 70 countries and was shocked and moved by the beauty of the planet. However, she has also witnessed the impact of global warming. For example, polar bears are so hungry that they go to the forest to pick wild berries. In the past 8 years, 1 A small island has gone from being knee-deep in snow to having no snow on the entire island. The first female loggerhead turtle to be recorded ashore in Taiwan encountered human embankments and densely growing cacti blocking the way to hatch eggs. It reminds us that humans are the biggest contributors to the imbalance of the earth. Protecting the planet is to protect the future of the next generation.

From a scientific perspective, Zheng Mingdian reminded that the energy absorbed by the earth has been far greater than the energy released. The energy imbalance has led to irreversible climate change. Humanity will face an even more unfamiliar climate in the future, such as continuous rainfall, desert flooding, etc. If it cannot adapt, a catastrophe will occur. However, everyone has a sense of crisis and is saving energy. It is possible to reduce carbon emissions but cannot do so. The reason is that everyone is motivated by "self-interest." "The real problem is no longer science, but human nature!" Greenhouse gas emissions are the result. The reason is that there is no end to human beings' pursuit of material desires, but the earth's resources are limited. We call on all walks of life to look at the problem across fields to find a balanced answer.

Master Xianyue also said that nature nourishes life, spirituality and spirit. These things are hidden in cellular memory, and how you view the world will be how the world responds. Today's earth imbalance is also a good warning. Everyone should awaken through spirituality, understand respect for all things, and take responsibility for the ecology. Changes from thoughts, behaviors, habits to personality and destiny, and do not underestimate the small power of the individual. Slowly change, let the quantity change qualitatively, and connect the surroundings. Be less greedy and more caring and compassionate to form a common earth vitality.
