Reality in Thailand is becoming worse than in Orwell's ' 1984 .
It is not only that ' big brother is watching you ' all the times , the government seems to want the whole Thai population spying on Foreigners living here ... SAD !!
Sometimes I think it would be best if NOBODY would be coming to Thailand any more ...

The media blames the "Farmers" the "good old boys" making the real money are never blamed, the mills and sugar corporation are beyond reproach it seems, they have the power to shut down cane burning whenever they won't, just ban buying it burnt, but they are never mentioned, the media has obviously been told not too mention the real money makers as they all have close connections to the "government"
---> Farmers burning sugarcane face additional fees for milling their crop
Sugarcane growers, who burn their crops before harvesting, will be charged 30 baht/tonne for the burnt sugarcane delivered to sugar mills, while the mills will be levied 12 baht/tonne for accepting burnt cane exceeding the set limits.

The eggs were not moved, they were left in place on the beach with officers assigned to watch over them.
Very good .
The baby turtles will find their way back to the same beach they hatched after reaching maturity ( if the eggs are not displaced ) .
But , of course , only if they ever reach maturity ...

So if you ask them to stop burning their canes and their rice fields, they will answer you;
" A panni problem " ( it's creole language ), you come to cut the cane with your little muscular arms under a scorching sun and if a scorpion or a snake bites you, you shut your mouth and you don't cry ..I say it again : the government should invest in mechanical sugar cane harvesters , that should be supplied to every province and go from farm to farm , one after another , to do the harvesting without producing toxic smoke .
That would certainly be a better investment for the country than submarines ... got it ?
You say : " So if you ask them to stop burning their canes and their rice fields, they will answer you;
" A panni problem " ( it's creole language ), " .... ?AFAIK thai farmers do not speak ' creole ' ...

I see a solution .. But it will not please you ..
We put all the "greedy farmers" in prison or better put them against a wall to shoot them.Except that your "greedy farmers" do not only grow sugar cane but also rice and vegetables and fruits (full to the brim with pesticides, I know).
It doesn't matter, does it? (May pen rai), you will replace them 10 or 12 hours a day under a scorching sun if you want to eat.Do you like it as a solution?
In this topic we talk about air pollution caused by the burning of sugar cane .
We do not talk about rice or fruit farmers , as fruit farmers do not burn their trees after the harvest ... do they ...?

What is that BS ...?
The solution is mechanical harvesting of sugar cane as I have said .

Just as unamazedlooso said , as long as there are no HEAVY fines imposed on the polluting farmers , there will be no change ...
Sadly they will only stop burning when they realize that they will get less money when continuing ( because of fines ) .
Nobody can teach them anything , they need to feel it in their wallet .

How is it possible that some greedy farmers are allowed to pollute and intoxicate nearly all of Thailands population ... and the government does nothing against it except " propositions on how to tackle the problem " . The burning goes on for years already , people get sick and fed up because of that .
May be instead of paying billions for useless submarines and other military gadgets , they should finance some sugarcane harvesters for every province that are used by all sugar cane plantations , one after the other ...?
A government that does not protect the people from the easily avoidable smog that is caused by the burning , is not worth to be named " government " , because it does not do what it should do .
They are so concerned about ' losing their face ' ... do they ever reckon how much of their precious ' face ' is lost due to their incompetence ...?

At least partly - it is .
More people - more pollution
more pollution - faster climate change
It is now too late anyway to reverse what happened already ... time to concentrate at least on reducing man made pollution and prepare for a future that does not look good ... ( do not buy beachland ...55 )

It's obvious to anyone with eyes to see that a population of billions all wanting "stuff" will exploit the planet's raw materials to exhaustion, and then what happens- war happens.
Man made ecological disasters will result in a shortage of food supplies and drinkable water ... Wars for resources will occur .
Anyway , happens already , only for oil and gas yet ...

So, if you disagree, you must have something else in mind- do share, as I'm wondering what that is.
It's not up to me, but if I were dictator of the world I'd impose the Chinese solution on all countries. Unfortunately the Chinese stopped it just when it started to make a difference.
Anyway, given how overcrowded we are, something like the incurable coronavirus currently just arrived in the US from China may do the job. Everything in nature works to balance things. If mankind has become a problem, as it has, nature will come up with some way of eliminating the problem.

https://climate.nasa.gov/evidence/
"The current warming trend is of particular significance because most of it is extremely likely (greater than 95 percent probability) to be the result of human activity since the mid-20th century and proceeding at a rate that is unprecedented over decades to millennia."
The Earth's climate has changed throughout history. Just in the last 650,000 years there have been seven cycles of glacial advance and retreat, with the abrupt end of the last ice age about 11,700 years ago marking the beginning of the modern climate era — and of human civilization. Most of these climate changes are attributed to very small variations in Earth’s orbit that change the amount of solar energy our planet receives.
Scientific evidence for warming of the climate system is unequivocal.Earth-orbiting satellites and other technological advances have enabled scientists to see the big picture, collecting many different types of information about our planet and its climate on a global scale. This body of data, collected over many years, reveals the signals of a changing climate.
The heat-trapping nature of carbon dioxide and other gases was demonstrated in the mid-19th century.2 Their ability to affect the transfer of infrared energy through the atmosphere is the scientific basis of many instruments flown by NASA. There is no question that increased levels of greenhouse gases must cause the Earth to warm in response.
Ice cores drawn from Greenland, Antarctica, and tropical mountain glaciers show that the Earth’s climate responds to changes in greenhouse gas levels. Ancient evidence can also be found in tree rings, ocean sediments, coral reefs, and layers of sedimentary rocks. This ancient, or paleoclimate, evidence reveals that current warming is occurring roughly ten times faster than the average rate of ice-age-recovery warming.3
The evidence for rapid climate change is compelling:
Global Temperature Rise
-
The planet's average surface temperature has risen about 1.62 degrees Fahrenheit (0.9 degrees Celsius) since the late 19th century, a change driven largely by increased carbon dioxide and other human-made emissions into the atmosphere.4 Most of the warming occurred in the past 35 years, with the five warmest years on record taking place since 2010. Not only was 2016 the warmest year on record, but eight of the 12 months that make up the year — from January through September, with the exception of June — were the warmest on record for those respective months. 5
Warming Oceans
-
The oceans have absorbed much of this increased heat, with the top 700 meters (about 2,300 feet) of ocean showing warming of more than 0.4 degrees Fahrenheit since 1969.6
Shrinking Ice Sheets
-
The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets have decreased in mass. Data from NASA's Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment show Greenland lost an average of 286 billion tons of ice per year between 1993 and 2016, while Antarctica lost about 127 billion tons of ice per year during the same time period. The rate of Antarctica ice mass loss has tripled in the last decade.7

Glacial Retreat
-
Glaciers are retreating almost everywhere around the world — including in the Alps, Himalayas, Andes, Rockies, Alaska and Africa.8

Decreased Snow Cover
-
Satellite observations reveal that the amount of spring snow cover in the Northern Hemisphere has decreased over the past five decades and that the snow is melting earlier.9
Sea Level Rise
-
Global sea level rose about 8 inches in the last century. The rate in the last two decades, however, is nearly double that of the last century and is accelerating slightly every year.10

Declining Arctic Sea Ice
-
Both the extent and thickness of Arctic sea ice has declined rapidly over the last several decades.11

Extreme Events
-
The number of record high temperature events in the United States has been increasing, while the number of record low temperature events has been decreasing, since 1950. The U.S. has also witnessed increasing numbers of intense rainfall events.12
Ocean Acidification
-
Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, the acidity of surface ocean waters has increased by about 30 percent.13,14 This increase is the result of humans emitting more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and hence more being absorbed into the oceans. The amount of carbon dioxide absorbed by the upper layer of the oceans is increasing by about 2 billion tons per year.15,16
