Hi Folks,
Some of you seem a bit confused about whether or not Climate Science is a real science.
Also, some, here, wonder if reported Climate Change might not just be attributable to local weather anomalies.
Your confusion is perfectly understandable, but ONLY from YOUR perspective.
Maybe THIS will help you to better rectify your misunderstanding of the rapid changes that are now happening to, and overtaking, our world:
This is a simple test that is often used to diagnose most climate-change deniers/skeptics.... And, you might wish to test yourselves on this test?
a. This is Albedo:
b. This is Albino
Did you pass the test?
If you passed this test, then....
Now, you understand all that you need to know about Global Warming?
Hope this helps any hold-out Global-warming Deniers, amongst us.
Always happy to help,...
As you know....
Best regards,
Gamma

Just a thought:
a. I have noticed that the foam cushioning on my office chair which I purchased about 6 months ago has now become ...thinner and thinner.
b. So, maybe this is not the foam that I had thought that would be supplied to me, considering the money that I paid for the chair out of China, and based on the specs given to the Chinese manufacturer BY THE IMPORTER. (Please notice that I NEVER fault the Chinese factory. I only fault the Importer. I know what's going on between Importer and Factory, as, probably, you do, too.)
c. When consumer get crappola, this is NOT the fault of the manufacturer. Therefore, do not blame China for CHEAP crappola. Instead, blame yourselves, for FING sake! (What, you consumers still expect a FREE LUNCH????)
d. As to how to solve this GARBAGE office chair I purchased for about Bt.9000?
As has already been stated:
Sell it to some other fool, ONLINE?
Or, I cannot, in good conscience, do something like this. NO WAY JOSE!
If I know that something is lousy, I cannot pass it off to some other FOOL.
Therefore, I must just eat my loss, myself.
I was the FIRST fool to buy this GARBAGE chair.
No way, will I cheat/scam someone else!!!
So, instead, I will find another use for the chair....
This chair is not even fit for landfill.....
Why?
IF these chairs were used for landfill, then...here is what might happen:
So, if I cannot sell my defective Chinese chair to some unsuspecting local Thai person,....which I would never do...then...
ANY alternative IDEAS what I might do with it?
ANY IDEAS about where I might shuv it?
Please, DO Tell....
Tks!

From THE HILL:
a. Is this headline actually accurate?
b. Was De Niro actually smarter than most Backward USA Climatologists, Back in 2018?
We are not just backward, but also we are insane, according to De Niro, it seems:
c. Also, Trump is a FING IDIOT, not to mention a FING FOOL:
d. De Niro opines that the USA will, eventually, "Cure Itself", ....Eventually....
========
De Niro has recently been in the news on our AseanNow Forum.
And, one wonders, are his views representative of the mainstream views of AseanNow Members?
I have no idea.
I only know that I loved Taxi Driver, the first time I watched the film.
Martin is still one of my favorite directors, for example.
And, also, seeing some young thing in high-heels, pretending to be a prostitute, seemed rather risque when I first watched the film, but no longer, after being in Asia for awhile.
For sure, I like the INTRO:
But, I REALLY Like when De Niro tells us that:
Someday, the RAIN will come and wash all this Smoke Away, from Chiang Mai.
Maybe, Someday, but not tomorrow, I fear.
Regards,
Gamma
Note: I will NEVER return to the Bronx! I doubt that even De Niro will return to the Bronx, anytime soon.....maybe....
DE NIRO SEEMS TO BELIEVE THAT:
And, we can only wish that:
Someday, a real rain will come and wash all this smoke away from Chiang Mai, I guess...maybe...
Here in Chiang Mai...
Does the smoke give you a headache, at times?
A Metaphor for the Smoke in Chiang Mai?
Maybe...
What do you think?

What, actually, IS a metaphor in film, anyway?

a. And so, if you really want to hear about it, the first I learned about CO2 and Climate Forcing was in 1970, from a Social Science Prof at my university.
b. And, if you really want to hear about it, the first I learned about Ecological Overshoot was when I read the book by Paul Ehrlich.
c. I didn't read anything by Lovelock until much later.
d. The first time I became truly concerned about Global Warming issues was when I watched the many seminars, formerly available, but now taken down, with the bright lights attending, such as James Hansen, and other top scientists, at Columbia, at The Earth Institute.
e. For some unknown reasons, those seminars, which were recorded and made available online, are difficult to find.
f. The videos that I once watched were put out by this program at Columbia...
The presenters at the seminars were tops in their fields. And, these were not for a lay audience.
g. So, I sometimes wonder why Columbia University does not rank much higher than it does, among unis, because Columbia is one of the very best in the world, though less famous than that NUMBER ONE SLOUCH/GARBAGE school, Harvard.
h. These days, I actually do not care that much about Global Warming. And, you know why?
Yesterday, on this Forum, some NITWIT called me "GrandPa" and offered me some warm milk, and suggested I take my warm milk, and retire for the evening. How dismissive is THAT!, I ask you?
i. Let me tell you:
I am not worried about Global Warming for my own personal wellbeing. I only worry for you, the young guys on this blessed Forum.
I now have 60,000 BTU of cooling power blowing on me. If I want, I can dial down the temps in my rooms to about 18 degrees C. And, maybe next year, I will have installed enough solar generation here on my land to power my ACs during daylight hours. I also can pump up enough well-water to supply my needs, using my semi-permeable membrane.
I do not worry for myself, you see.
But I do worry for those who may not be able to protect themselves from changing times during this next decade.
Also, if things get really bad, then I can always decamp to American Samoa where the temps, due to the surrounding waters, will help to moderate the coming calamity of Global Warming, long enough for me.
j. I never become ruffled in any way when people call me Grandpa. Instead, I worry about what might happen before I die.
After I die, I will no longer need worry about much....
k. Well, I guess that now is about time for my warm milk....
If only there were some Pattaya woman to tuck me in this evening.
And, maybe someone to take my money, in exchange for a kiss.

The Walton family, not matter what they might think, may not be able to escape Global Warming, no matter how deep they dig their bunkers.

How many here have thought about a better way to insulate you home to make it more thermally efficient.
40 years ago, I met a friend, in Naples, Florida, who founded this company.
I like the idea of using this technology to attach insulation to the exterior of my house.
What do you think?
I am all for improving thermal insulation on all homes....
Here is where I used to live.
Here, we can afford to protect ourselves from almost everything, except the Naples Farang....

Very soon, things are going to get hotter.
Hope you are prepared.

It's getting hotter...

There MUST BE some kind of way OUT OF HERE!
I can't get no RELIEF!
Our world is BURNING......
Especially, around here in Chiang Mai....
Smoke EVERYWHERE!
HOT
HOT
HOT
No reason to get excited.....
Right?
