Heatwave and Climate Change Puts Pressure on Thailand
MarkBR replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Timescale if we have no emissions is, at best with the most coservative estimate so far, about 3-5000 years to return to temperature regime that are reasonable. Plenty of literature on the modelling is available for anyone to find. The countries & regions that we need to convince to do things are Australia, China, Europe, India, USA; most of the others are irrelevant. -
I think she has greater problems with logical rational thinking.

1 degree Hhigher in average temperature results in huge loss of production due to damage to flower formation (anthesis) seed production ( successful versus seed abortion). Best computer modelled results are 10-13% loss in Thailand's rice production by 2100.

Climate change is massive threat to plant growth, flowering & seed/fruit production. Devastating economic impact on many countries including Thailand

Chinese influencer’s food poisoning sparks Thai food hygiene row
MarkBR replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Have had more diarrhoea in China than in Thailand. Lived in China for 6 years, now living in northern Thailand. Completely diasgree that one country has worse food than the other in terms of hygiene. Just have to be careful what you eat. Raw seafood tends to be higher risk than cooked or fermented foods -
Thailand revolutionises agriculture with nine policies
MarkBR replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I think focusing on dangers to Thai crops of all types from rising temperatures needs to be paramount. The increasing maximum temperatures, coupled to increased frequency of heat waves will results in decreased flower formation in rice, and seed set. This is for all rice growing countries. Coupled to increased floods & droughts represent and massive danger to Thailand. Increased focus on potential new crops e.g. the heat tolerant Coffea stenophylla[appararently as ggod as the some of the best Coffea arabica] (especially tree crops within agroforestry systems) for Thailand, is critical for trade & for resilience of Thai society. Doing something about the pollution levels would massively help crops in northern & central Thailand given the impacts of this stress on photosynthesis. Plus promotion of non-chemically focused agriculture would help with the value of crops to Thailand. Lots more could be done with actions, NOT just words. -

Reforestation is good, but need to also deal with excessive undergrowth that provides fuel for fires. Suggestion, deer used to be very common in Thailand but were poached to extinction in most parts. Maybe reintroduce deer, this would have a benefit of reducing undergrowth, and I am sure some will disappear into the cooking pot of local rural thais reducing food poverty.

Thai Officials Announce "Innovative" Expat Health Measure
MarkBR replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
A very efficient way to drive tourists away to other areas of Thailand, and other countries. Requiring tourists to wear masks but not Thais is silly, medically stupid, and discriminatory with NO rational basis. -
