this is just normal weather.  it's always changing. 

they need to adapt.



   

there's a reason why you can still drive a car right into lower Manhattan....  BECAUSE almost everyone uses the subway.... 

and that when you take a cruise around the island... or out to the Liberty Statue... it looks as if NYC was floating just above the salt water line....

because it is.  if this is Houston and anything at all makes it through the narrows..........

"no one could have predicated it" ... no, only 10,000 times and lots of examples that we MIGHT be risking something that will make you crawl back into bed every morning until you ain't pulling the sheets over your own head. 

 

it's really terrible for the folks involved.  it happens and no matter what you do after it has already begun... no one and nothing can stop it. it was 2011 here, right?
 

but this better not be related to the "science theory" about Co2 and infrared radiation that is so basic we knew about it 200 years ago.  

or that July 2017 was the hottest July ever recorded in 137 years.

if it is, it all ends. 

now enjoy your next airplane flight. but how? you'd have to be a total sociopath..... or total idiot.... to do that.

Most government's in the world must have missed that.

Can't even remember how many zeroes the US dept has right now. And they keep borrow more  

13

20 trillion so 4*3 +1

this is what the political scene in the USA is really about.

the stalemates underlying it. but something else too.

when they say someone "denies" science they mean "in denial"...

 not just on the debt:

July 2017 was the hottest ever on average. 

all it will take is one more "oops we didn't even think of that" or we see Al Gore completely disappear off the scene because he can't even broach the subject anymore.  he would go from "newly optimistic" to not saying a single word in public.
 

it that was really possible, North Korea would already be on it's back.

Thailand's SEC allows Thai securities to be registered in the name of a nominee, and commingled... and does not allow for even the slightest clue to be exposed to any Thai intermediary in the chain.... as to who the beneficial shareholder is. just for using an overseas broker or even the most retail... retail bank.

but those banks and brokers now keep computerized records of all of that, to a T... 24/7/365.... it can be done very very easily.

but it ain't. 

i.e. the Non Discrimination clause of your US tax treaty requires disclosure.
so just do it.


 

Hansen's ACP study... and COP21.... were in play at the same time. which study could be what this story is really all about.

that and that July 2017, once again, was the hottest month ever.
matching 2016.  source: NASA Space Goddard
 

give us one headed for Poughkeepsie, a Hansen styled one, up the Hudson.. through the narrows first..... and even aviation and tourism ain't off the table anymore. for sure.  

 

something ridiculously emotive needs to be dredged up.... so you can get Brexit done quietly and without delay.

your military "services" are not indiscriminate global baby killers.. not by a mile.... and your belief that you were made in an Image, one Image, of One God... is not widely believed enough... hmmm.....  

get more involved with the Korean thing, and tell Trump to hurry up and start a new war somewhere.

The US administration are all "Risky Tools" so these talks will end up as the usual gob <deleted> with no action. Trump and his cronies at like eunuchs,  they now what they would like to do but haven't got the balls to do it.

doesn't Guterres run this show just as much as Trump does? and maybe is a better "why" as to why we ain't pushing as hard as Trump and Obama would have......?????

it's UNSC 2371 that names the names.

and US banks are just obligated.... by the very same forces..... that obliged the USA to go to the UN not just on this... but Iraq 1 and Iraq 2????

hellooo?
 

that would be the crowd that shows up to Davos once a year... not the Anti Neo Nazi (in 2017???) little people. or US "general population" as Bill Gates always puts it... the Davos crowd... not American TV viewers and their TV literate president.  not nearly as important as we think. did we win in Vietnam because we had nukes and lots of aircraft carriers?  Nope.  We lost.

  



 

fellow Lookey Lou's... and folks with an L1 that is not "Pasa Angrit"...

"government shutdown" means... Social Security recipients (as we Americans call them)... and former USA servicemen and servicewomen.. and the active ones too...as we call them.....

get chits instead of monthly pension checks....    

and when they restart it is possible we (yeah, we) may wish we were getting our checks in Yuan and not dollahs..

for former Scouts: Be Prepared.. for the others... get ready to "adapt".



 

good idea. make lots of bombs to protect yourselves.
 

I have to be reading (no I don't, but I am) Nick Turse's Kill Anything That Moves.... while living in a Thai village???

the Vietnam refugee camp movements the US did.

more depressing than anything the Nazi's or KKK did.....not "mental racists" or not enough of a rant about Neo Nazi's... it was beyond that.  plenty of guys and some gals in Thailand personally know of it. and there's is nothing else to say on that.

and WE STILL ARE DOING THIS if only mostly only by air dropped bombs... but while "respecting" our "services" all the way for getting the job done.  *&*&$$$$???
 

DPRK is making bombs? good. it makes sense to me.
 

good idea.

 

yeah, and it has nothing to do with the Nazi's or racism either.

 

"this isn't supposed to happen"..... but the military, and not just ours, also has in it's care thousands of thermonuclear weapons. to be viable some of them must be in certain state of readiness and there are many risks of one part detonation for instance, even without a launch occurring. it's never happened yet, but this does bring it to mind.


    



    

man oh man.... they sure have their work cut out for them.

against hate speech? you mean the folks who proclaim that man was made in the Image of God? one particular image? and who don't "believe" in science? 

in Amerikee????

that's a lot of people.

    

of course they do.

science now posits that about 150,000 years ago one particular Homonid was instilled with what we can call "Chomsky's Snowflake", the reason we all acquire a language by 2 and a half. 

it was sudden and quick.. not slowly evolved. as we previously thought.

everyone has it. no one has more of it than another, nor of a different, better or worse, quality. so.... Nazism and racism have no science basis, because the thing that makes us sapiens was sudden and simple.  that's why Chomsky used a snowflake as an analogy. like "String Theory" is used for everyday folk concerning physics.

but the Abrahamic religions have as their basic thesis that man was created in the Image of God.  and it's easy in that context to imagine one particular image, and that some folks more closely match that image than others do.  and the "religious experts" are worried about someone like me, a rare person who knows some science I guess.. connecting the dots between racism, Nazism...  and Christian thinking German-Americans.... and plain old everyday.... Germans of a previous one time special generation only... so they say...

hey.
 

All Men Have A Chomskian Snowflake. and women. that's what kept George Washington awake at night.. besides his dentures.  He hadn't lived to be in the Age of Noam Chomsky.... whom we have never seen on TV since The Firing Line debacle in the 1960's..... for some weird reason I guess, can anyone figure it out?.... he was never seen again on......

*****American***** TV... and.....

God Bless Noam Chomsky......

he is still alive and kicking in his 90's.     







 

they focus on the teachers.

they focus on technology.

hey what about the students? the ones that go to public schools.

smartphones cannot readily convey Theory of Mind. no video can. no picture can.

a farmer cannot know which counters to put his savings into, nor even that there is a 3/7 tax refund on the dividends.... so he puts it in a retail bank account at a negative real rate (that means after living cost increases).

stop it. you have a gigantic social contract which justifies having much better health coverage for only some Thai folks... those who are ajarn to the national government.......
 

INSTEAD of being like Thai people.... including at the hospital...... and being teachers....... to the STUDENTS instead of the national government du jour......

who are constantly drilling the students that reading books is a joke and something to piss on by copying them etc etc..... and teaching them nonsense.

the farmer can read. but he don't. he don't read. books.

nor his son or daughter.  voraciously.  for pleasure.  for life. 

ONLY reading..... everything else, including playing with a smatphone... is something a dog, cat, cow or pig also can do and enjoy... try it..... show a doggie video to a... dog or cat.

ditto eating and sleeping, even traveling... a dog or cat also enjoys.

but actually connecting with the rest of humans... reading books that you have to pay money for... anything that is free i.e. "Facebook"....  is only worth WHAT YOU HAD TO PAY FOR IT.... with or without the adverts and free nonsense.....  for a very simple reason. 







 

someone thinks they are a good person, helping others.

but when you do this kind of thing, i.e. the rice project... the recipients begin to expect it to come to their rescue again and again....

so now you have made the problem much much worse....

and that is why my motto is, in Pasa Thai "paw peeang".. Self Sufficiency is the only "good" answer, with emphasis on the Self part. 

and that that motto extends to include some very very basic and very very important....

more important than money.

it includes not JUST being ABLE to read books... which is the most social and "good" thing that a human can do.... but to actually read books... lots of them... on all kinds of topics.... including so that you realize that helping the farmers might just kill them instead.

but your "education" system pisses on IP and books with jokes and copying stuff instead of discussing and sharing things....

get your XXXX together Thailand before it is way way too late.

stop handing out money and fix your biggest social contract.. the one that says you can have lifetime benefits and a pretty good salary by being an "ajarn" for the national government... instead of being just like all the other Thai as to your health coverage.... and an "ajarn" to the STUDENTS who are the future and present of your country... and includes especially in the Thai public system.. these farmers you are pretending to yourself that you are so worried about.. but actually are NOT.

and you know it. we all know it.

I chose  uncontrolled migration ,not because i dont like other races , i think that some people from another culture living amongst you brings many benifits ,especially if they integrate . The problems arise when hordes arrive ,do not integrate but just want to carry on in their own enclaves living their lives as they did back home and expecting the indigenous population the fit into their ways ,this leads to problems ,which we are starting to see in the west(you aint seen nothing yet).

and before the usual suspects go on about us living here in Thailand ,ok quite a few want to eat fish and chips every day ,but on the whole we do integrate ,marry locals , live next door to Thai people and ask for very little . and as for my comment you aint seen nothing yet , i truly believe that there are massive ,massive problems on the horizen .

yes, and the reason for thinking like this is so that if something happens rather quickly in the future...you had a chance to calmly and rationally think about it before hand.  that is very different from the folks who dismiss it as a likely thing..... and then they face having to consider what to do... with a sword hanging over their head. or run to the 7-11 to find the shelves already bare. eh?

one possible thing is salt water inundation. another a combination of heat and humidity that is deadly. another is a lack of fresh water because of ocean current changes. and more likely.... a Fukushima that "no one thought was even possible"... yeah? 

and if that is SE Asia or merely the Mekong Delta in Vietnam.....or en entire country sitting in a river delta on a ridge the other side of Tak.... Bangladesh.... and.....

last month was the hottest July......... ever... NASA Space Goddard website. and 90% of the heat goes into the ocean... not the land surface temperatures..... and.......  there is much much more.

that fresh water aquifer in Bangladesh of the Mekong Delta only has to be inundated below ground level somewhere where no one can see it even about to occur.. and then it does... and any amount of an almost infinite supply of salt water entering fresh water resources is a permanent problem involving food and human life. 
  

part of the problem is making sure any post is related directly to the topic...

or you are off topic and get deleted....

Migration because of Climate Change:

at some time about 150,000 year ago we know something happened suddenly to create our species.  it happened in a flash.. not over thousand of years but very quickly. boom. civilization. Neanderthals out. Sapiens rule.  

some say a sign of God.

Chomsky says it was a capacity for language and to think in the abstract.

1. every human has this capacity.  no one has MORE of it than another person does.... i.e. no matter what your skin color is or where you went to school.... yet it also makes us VERY different from all other primates and animals.  = racism is false.

2. if it was not a sudden event by action of a divine power..... then we better be damn sure we don't mess up our planet because there ain't no Big Daddy in the Sky.... = mass migrations of hundreds of millions of people... becau eof CLimjate Chage. and soon . not 2100. 

take the Nazi's for instance. or racists.

they believe some people are better.  than others.

Chomsky says the language capacity is what makes us human.  we all have it.  it is NOT something you can have more of than someone else. and it MUST be a simple thing.... otherwise it would not have happened so quickly in our evolutionary history... but it did.  VERY QUICKLY... and many people believe that THAT was a sign of GOD.

Chomsky says no.... it is a capacity we inherit.... all of us...  

and THAT also puts the Nazi's out of business.  and racists.

I like Chomsky's theory.  he is an optimist unlike Steven Pinker who is the other Boston cognitive scientist in this area.

Amercians tend to have a racism issue... and deny (sic) Climate Change... and those same folks are heavily correlated with Christians or "Christian thought" at the minimum.

Chomsky is the opposite of a Pope.

Noam Chomsky..... still alive and kicking.. even older than Jimmy Carter.

If there is a God... then God Bless Jimmy Carter and Noam Chomsky.  my heroes.

and Climate Change = mass migrations...  and is a really big threat (this post thread).




 

Chomsky has an explanation for why humans can think.
Every human has that capacity.  Color of skin is irrelevant.
We are not a gift from the God(s).
The Earth is not a gift from the God(s).

all it is.... is a plasma with ions in an unequal distribution that explains how ATP is made.  that's not Chomsky. that's chemistry.

our gift of human language.. Chomsky explains. not The Bible.

and Climate Change is real and ****might**** cause mass migration on a scale never seen before. and it's probably not just a maybe. last month was the hottest July ever. same as 2016 was.

Maybe I should give up already, but I'm still waiting for the correlation between belief in science, migration, and abstract thought.

Like my math teacher said, show your work and not just the answer. Otherwise how do we know how you got there?

everyone one of us has the ability to think in the abstract.  it's an equal capacity.  but if instead you believe we are special creature gifted by a God..... and in the image of a god.... you tend to deny that climate change is real... and you also tend to maybe believe that there is only one particular Image of God.... which the Bible says we were created of.. and that that is a white person.

the mass migrations will be a big problem because we are messing up the atmosphere.

God won't stop or help us.

OK, I'll try again. Your stream-of-consciousness writing style and constant flitting from thought to thought make it difficult, if not impossible, to suss out exactly what the point of your post(s) are, making salient responses a trying exercise.

it's not simple, no. is very difficult in this forum.

migration will be the big threat. sorry for making that as point blank as that.  I do because I really believe it. obviously.

not Muslims not blacks.  no difference to me.... just tons of folks without water or food.

 

I'm gonna go back to an old topic.

this website works like it was from the 1980's internet. 

why? I know why. to code software you must be able to do the work on your own, even though you collaborate with others... and read and understand gobs of information on your own.... it is so bad. 

to think creatively on your own. to not just be able to read.. but to enjoy reading and learning lots of stuff... on your own. not much of a rarity at home in LA.. or New York or Boston...... but here...............

Stupid, ignorant, religious fanatics, greedy, corrupt, selfish, bullies.  That is the problem!  Sadly these seem to be the preferred job requirements for positions of power and responsibility.......

yes, full of all kinds of narratives of nonsense.

but if we could have a common narrative... the basic first premise of which were all to accept SOMEHOW.... that each of us humans.... and only humans.... have a capacity for thinking up any kind of shit......

and that you can do that no matter what your color is.

and not from any God.

a dog can only understand what it sees and smells and hears..... it has no idea about time... that's an abstract thing.... but it does know stuff like digging a hole.... it's in it's brain.. and only in dog brains.. pretty much....  even if separated from other dogs at birth.... and so do *****we**** have a capacity for abstract thought in our brains.... to make up nonsense... as well as fear a Boogieman.   

he ain't white yelloe black or brown.

that is Noam Chomsky's idea.  not mine.
