not unreasonable at all, my chopper tyre was 4.5k

yes, all makes sense now. thanks. hope no one brings a different view on the sun spot cycle, I will be completely fluffed up.

thanks 5* for effort, ta very much cob

the sun spots is unrelated to milankovitch cycles

but none the less has major implications, like

the 'minor ice age' that had its peak 1650-1700, the ocean is still recovering from that, it takes eternity for the endless volume of the ocean to respond to changes in temperature, like hundreds to thousands of years, this is why co2 levels

lag behind temperature fluctuations by 800 years. (al gore misinterpreted the graphs and thought co2 leads temperature,

while the records show the exact opposite, that rising co2 is an effect of rising temperature)

Belgium, The Netherlands and Denmark are, effectively, economically entirely dependent on Germany. I have heard a couple of Dutch friends of my mine bemoan the fact that they are "an economic colony" (since we are on the subject!).

 

im not from either of those but the fact is germany is by far our largest trade partner, and any disturbance with trade with germany will have an effect on our economy,

brits will soon understand this

At least they haven,t introduced a euthanasia policy based on age ------- yet

i cant wait for that to be instituted

ive had stranger things then that happen,

after i transferred the first 100k to my thai bank account,

i got an email from bkk bank saying there was

an impeding doom of my account being closed

if i didnt right away confirm back my account details.

it was suspiciously like the daily ipcc reports

so i went to the bank in question and asked

what the alarmism was all about ?

they denied sending any email demanding

account details, and stated no closing was to be expected of my account.

there are / have been extensive works done all around the marsh, Dymchurch for example. other places eg birling gap, beachy head are being allowed to succumb to nature. hastings is quite a steep beach, so protected by the shingle washed up, so gets steeper. it will be noticed, just maybe not in our lifetime. most effect is around equatorial areas, yes, due to the moon. @transam

sea levels are likely to continue rise ever so slightly

Does an additional 400,000 baht to the already 800,000 in the bank....qualify so no need for insurance?

no

no, thailand is no longer cheaper then anywhere else,

and will never be again, they largely caught up with the west

a verifiable 40k transfer a month should do the trick

[Every year, we will continue to see more smoke unless we reduce the CO2 back to 1859 levels. ]

i guess nobody told you, co2 is an invisible gas

and entirely unrelated to the sot you see in chiang mai.

well i guess in a way they are related,

if we do nothing and let co2 slip below

150 ppm co2, the plants will die so there wont be anything to burn.

only problem is we also wont have anything to eat, since vegetation dies

and with it all the other species in the food chain, like life stock and our self

to be or not to be

hey, @New Yorker, dont be shy if you are confused,

spit it out, what part is it that you dont understand ?

With the recent floods in Isaan, there are a whole bunch of people on the Korat plateau who know the earth is flat.  ????   A few years back, people in BKK realized the same thing. 

 

I get tired of hearing about all this stuff.  Sure, humans are bad on the earth.  I do my part and keep a low environmental profile.  I don't drive all around polluting. I keep the house (in the USA) cold in the winter and hot in the summer.  When I was in Thailand way back when it was whatever the wind blew in.  Loei got cold and hot. I had a couple of light bulbs and very few possessions.  Life was good. 

if you want to be eco-friendly and increase biomass,

be sure to revv that cadillac and do your part for the plants. greenhouse owners found that many times over current co2 levels are optimal for nature

there are benefits to raising the CO2 level higher than the global average, up to 1500 ppm.

https://fifthseasongardening.com/regulating-carbon-dioxide

as of todays atmospheric co2 levels,

plants are starving for co2,

we really do need to get consious

about our environment and release back co2 that over millions of years have been sequestered into fossils.

us, the living things, evolved at a time with

much much higher co2 levels then is today, well over 2000 ppm, compared to

todays measly 400 ppm co2,

5 times below the levels when we evolved.

we became alive and evolved because of high co2 levels. co2 & h2o are the two

most important molecules for life on earth

To be perfectly honest...

 

- Automatic car, you are pretty much fine driving with 1 arm/1 leg/whatever. Manual, well...quite a bit more hassle.

- You are deaf. Bit harder but kind of irrelevant. Chances are you are listening to music anyway and your windows are closed, although I keep my ears open, I don't need them to drive. Ambulances are hit or miss, I usually seem them before I can hear them, for whatever reason, Ambulances here seem to transmit their sirens at whisper volume.

- Colorblind also doesn't matter. Traffic lights are (even for Thais) standardized, red on top, green on the bottom. Traffic signs are unique with a meaning, colors don't matter, though a helpful reminder.

- 1 eye. That's a tough one due to losing depth perception, can be managed but needs a working brain along with drivings most important skill, situational awareness.

- Blind. Get a taxi.

agree on your assessment except for color blind,

there is a lot that goes into it even if you somehow

invented a traffic light system that a color blind can

understand, like breaking lights, signal left/right

Get where? You going to change the climate somehow?

yeah, by reducing 0.02% co2 content in atmosphere

I support her and the efforts for activism to promote the need for a change in the current amount of carbon emissions.

 

Why deny something with so much science behind it? Rising global temperatures making the sea levels rise.

It's only like 100 companies that are responsible for the majority of emissions.

 

" It gets even worse. The Carbon Majors Report revealed that more than half of all industrial emissions over the past 30 years were put out by just 25 corporate and state-owned entities. Twenty-five companies are killing us, smothering us, stealing our futures while choking us (and not the fun kind of consensual choking done in the bedroom. This is the bad kind of choking that results in drought and hurricanes and your dog stuck in a tree!). "

On a side note, anyone seen that death metal remake of her speech? ????

firstly, temperature causes the ocean to give up co2,

giving an increase in atmospheric co2,

not the other way around.

secondly, choke on what exactly ?

for your info plants die below 150 ppm co2,

and with them, everything else on the planet surface,

it came close to that at the bottom of last ice age,

180 ppm.

scientists already found a world wide biomass increase

as a result of our effort to increase atmospheric co2 to 400 ppm, still a far cry off professional greenhouse owners

that pump bottled co2 into the greenhouse up to 1200+ ppm, but far better then current atmospheric levels
