I know it's difficult for you to understand this concept, but the Maldives are surviving due to significant efforts to mitigate sea level rise. It is entirely possible that mitigation efforts will keep the Maldives afloat for decades. It's like if you are sick, and the doctor gives you medication. That you are feeling better doesn't mean there isn't an underlying illness.

Having sat on a jury, I can say that the jury is going to focus on the facts of the case: did Trump pay money to squelch a story to benefit his campaign, and then claim it was a business expenses? If that is proven, the jury should convict. However, if Trump's attorneys successfully argue the law, that there was no crime in paying the hush money, then Trump may skate.

The Prosecution is building their case. All the Trump fans have now is complaining that the entire case hasn't been revealed yet.

China’s solar photovoltaic market has grown dramatically during the last decade. The country has made enormous efforts to expand its solar capacity, which increased from only 4.2 gigawatts in 2012 to over 390 gigawatts in 2022. In that last year, new solar capacity additions reached a record of almost 85 gigawatts. China is by far the leading solar market worldwide, accounting for most of the cumulative solar capacity installed globally, as well as new capacity additions. China’s solar capacity is projected to continue expanding in the next years, with forecast new installations ranging from 413 to 569 gigawatts between 2022 and 2026.

Global temperature increase of 1/10th of a degree per year is scary. As for the satellite data, there is this thing called "ground truth" that you ignore, just like you ignore the existence of thousands of weather stations. As for scientists not being able to calculate the impact of manmade pollution on global temperature, I assume you were drunk when you wrote that. Some of your talking points are so old that paid Deniers trolls don't use them anymore.

When the weatherman says there's a 75% chance of rain tomorrow, if it doesn't rain, is the weatherman misleading people? Likewise, if Al Gore says there's a 75% chance that Arctic Sea ice will completely disappear in the summer within X years, and only most of the ice disappears, is that misleading people?

He provided a probability. You don't understand what a probability is.

Wow, there are some people here who are in denial about global warming. Atmospheric carbon dioxide is increasing. Global temperature is increasing. Deniers can't accept these basic facts. It's like talking to the Flat Earth people.

Remember, you're bored with this subject. You claimed that Al Gore lied about Arctic sea ice disappearing. That is a false assertion. He provided an estimate, along with a probability. I don't think you understand what a probability is, and in your ignorance, you call that a lie. If the weatherman says there's a 75% chance of rain, but there's no rain, is that a lie?

Once again, Arctic sea ice is disappearing. Al Gore provided one scientist's estimate of when it would disappear, and you can't get over it. Even when all of the Arctic sea ice is gone, you'll still whine about Al Gore, ignoring the reality that the Arctic sea ice is gone. It's like if a doctor tells you that you have 6 months to live, but you die in 5 months, and on your deathbed you whine about the doctor getting it wrong.

So, you like to make false assertions here, and then not back them up when someone provides the facts.

I am stating a fact. Perhaps you don't understand the basic science well enough. https://images.app.goo.gl/xrYFkRr3YDCKDbbm6 Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide is increasing, and warming the planet.

Do you understand that the atmosphere is warming due to manmade pollution? Or are you just fixated on one statement by Al Gore that has paralyzed your thinking?

You are missing the main issue: Because of manmade global warming, Arctic sea ice is disappearing during the summer. You personally may be interested in whether the total disappearance happens this year, or in 5 years, but the actual date that the Arctic is ice free is not important, except to Climate Change Deniers.

The "guy" in question is a bar manager, not an owner. More to the point, he is required to file a tax return as he lives in Thailand. But he has no idea about this requirement. I haven't found anyone who knows about the new rules.

I don't know what you are talking about, but it sounds like a conspiracy theory.

The big story is that the stuff he talked about 20 years ago have gotten much worse since then. The Deniers back then said there was no warming. They've had to change their lies.

From the linked article: "In 2009, Al Gore loosely cited researchers and said there was a "75% chance" the ice could be gone during at least some summer months within five to seven years. " He wasn't far off. Arctic sea ice is disappearing during summer months. New sea routes are opening up in the Arctic.

What changes in natural forces are causing Climate change?

This reminds of the Denier movement of 20 years ago's mantra: "but Al Gore has a big house". Of course, the Denier claims of 20 years ago are forgotten now, humorous in retrospect.

You probably remember when it was claimed that Venice was sinking. It was, but billions were spent to offset the rising water. This might be a lesson for you to understand the impact of a warming atmosphere.

The air pollution is exacerbated by the heat, which is increasing.

So your view of a global problem is based on a prediction by one guy 20 years ago. Sea levels have risen, but sea level rise is not a uniform process. Some places have higher increases than others. Moreover, the Maldives took the predictions seriously, and built seawalls to hold back the water. The Maldives are sinking

If you think this is fake, you're in trouble.

Driving around Pattaya, it's obvious that the Songkran rains have not come, and the countryside is beginning to dry out. I suspect that there isn't a lot of irrigation infrastructure, so if it doesn't start raining soon, the hot weather is going to have dire consequences. This hot spell itself isn't proof of climate change, but if such weather becomes common, that would be as a result of climate change. Climate is what you expect, weather is what you get. I expect rain this time of year. Let's hope it comes in the next few weeks .
