But temperatures between the atmosphere and the oceans aren't equal. Clouds form, rain falls, and winds will blow because the higher you go, the lower the temperature. Global warming isn't going to change that.

a warmer climate will none the less lead to less differences

in temperature on various locations, and that in turn will

lead to less energy that can be extracted

If you look at the page from which that graph was taken, you will find that the change in amount of acreage burned was specifically ascribed to a massive increase in fire prevention.

so you mean to say that the fires isnt correlated to co2, but rather correlated to

management of the forests ?

and that the imagined link to co2 is just a spurious correlation

Hurricanes are not caused by the differential between temperatures at the poles and at the equator. They are caused by the accumulated heat in the oceans and sea. Hotter oceans and seas mean more powerful hurricanes.

no, if everything was of equal temperature, it couldnt happen

It really is simple thermodynamics. The heat we manufacture burning fossil fuels has to go somewhere, it ends up in the oceans. Any meteorologist will tell you the warmer the water, the more intense the hurricane/typhoon/cyclone.

Of course, the denialists with zero scientific training ignore that. Just like they ignore the fact the Larsen Ice Shelf and Greenland ice caps are melting at unprecedented rates, business as usual.

any physicist will tell you work require energy gradients,

and the warmer the planet the less difference between poles and equator, leading to less intense hurricane/typhoon/cyclone.

of course, the hysteria mob ignore the fact that jakobshavn glacier is growing at unprecedented rates,

inane drivel as usual

i dunno, i dont have a subscription, got nothing to do with netflix,

should i update my billing information ?

co2 is good for biomass, and while there are more productive ways to recycle co2, greenpeace are at least trying as they drive their boats, but they need to adhere to traffic regulations at sea or get their driving license revoked

Dreaming. Water is going to be the end of us, or rather lack of water.

Short of desalination, which is only realistic for rich countries, man is running out of potable water.

 

Other things too. Our entire way of life depends on computers. One country has most of the rare earth needed to make computers.

Disease is becoming immune to antibiotics and there are no alternatives available as yet. welcome to pre Penicillin life.

Lots of other things that will stuff it up, like governments response to a new flu variant.

water is the very last resource that will become scarce,

one country can make it profitable at current cost,

if the task can be handed over to robots altogether.

the cost goes up, or environment takes a back seat

due to vital interest, all other nations will be mining it too.

medicine science keep on improving as ever,

maybe it has become too good already when people average 80 before they croak ?

we can rest assured that plagues like hippies/climateologists/BLM/[insert nonsense] will become increasingly noisy

as we become richer and can keep dishing out allowances that gives them the time to protest rather then work for a living,

that is the nature of the beast

I have not said that the lottery is not gambling and if he was happy with his activity and could afford there's no problem.

 

But the topic is on-line gambling. That's a whole different ball game.

 

And just as an afterthought, how does anyone find the time to check all those lottery tickets for a win?

not a whole different, but slightly different,

more specifically the online gambling solves

your second question: no need to check, the online gambling give a receipt and notify you on your win, and in fact send the sum straight into your account, i can only praise online gambling dens, i honestly could not be ar$ed checking them lottery tickets manually

out of all nobel prices, norwegians got the lousiest to give by a wide margin.

but given they just gave it to al gore and obama,

i gues they just got stuck on american politicians for the time being, this one aint no worse then the others in that category

When one is buying lottery tickets or betting on the cock fight or similar, you're using money from your pocket. You can see your wallet getting thinner.

 

When folks are gambling on, let's say an on-line slots or a blackjack site it is all too easy to get caught up in the game and stick just another 100 Baht on the bank card and another and another.

 

And it happens!

everyone got primary school math education,

you are talking about responsibility but that dont make a difference whether you transfer money electronically or

by paper

You mean you can't tell the difference between dipping into your pocket and spending 80 Baht on a lottery ticket and blowing the household budget via a debit card on these gaming sites? And very often the punters don't even realize they are doing so.

 

It's a huge problem and good luck to the government if they can find a way of curbing it.

can you elaborate on the difference in practical terms ?

what do you mean with "And very often the punters don't even realize they are doing so." ?

I completely disagree with you. There is no comparison between buying a lottery ticket with money that's in your pocket and the ever growing problem of addiction to and debt being caused by on-line gaming. It's a serious problem worldwide.

whats the difference ?

It was in decline fella, Pattaya has been struggling for years now. Don't believe the official numbers they are very misleading.... 

your hypothesis is falsified with the traffic jam prior to covid imo. i agree the fun factor was down and prices up on gogos,

but pattaya wasnt that crowded before

yes for me personally as i do not need a job for income,

but i also got many thai friends that are really struggling now,

and for the first time in 15 years, i now meet random begging requests the moment i leave the hotel building

the cause of this economic disaster is not covid19,

its the knee jerk reaction by politicians that caused it.

i.e politicians caused it single handedly
