As haze season nears, Prawit cracks whip in North

[worgeordie]

The people that are setting fires are Arsonists,and when caught need to be

given harsh prison terms,as these people are affecting the health and

livelihoods of the majority of people in the North.

 

Get the Police off road blocks,The Army don't seem to have much to do,

(at the moment they have them concreting  the banks of a river in our area) ,

get them on maneuvers,camping out up in the hills,plus any volunteers that

will help,the only way to STOP the burning, is to be where it is ,we don't want

it monitored, we want it STOPPED, will anything really be done....looking at the past...NO.

Regards Worgeordie

The only solution is to leave Thailand or the north at the very least.

It's the perfect time to go to those places that you want to explore as an alternative to living here.
Some just might realize the other places are much better.  

The only way these people will stop this madness is with massive international media attention by the YouTubers bloggers/vloggers and due to significant loss of revenue.  

 

Get out, have fun, it's absolutely dangerously unhealthy to be Feb-May.

Most locals, who of course are suffering too, cannot just leave their country.

Two pages of whinging over a problem that has existed for years before this government came into power.

 

So how yould you solve the problem if you were PM? Other than accumulating the hot air from whingy falangs and blowing the smoke away. Come on boys, solve it...practical solutions...

Stop the burning by huge fines on the owners of the land where the fires can easily be seen, even at night ( many have actually been told to burn at night to avoid detection!)

Substantial jail time for the arsonists themselves, and for the landowners for repeat offences.

There is a way but there is certainly no will whatsoever.

Oh really! Much of Chiang Mai's pollution comes from Burma, in particular the Shan State where the Shan State Army is in conflict with the Burmese National Army so trying to negotiate locally would, I believe, be almost impossible.

Chiangmai and the other northern provinces are lucky.  in northern California they have "man made" grid blackouts because it is hotter and drier there, in spite of some raining, and there is a greater risk of fire just because of that.  so they are having blackouts not because it is hot and folks are running too many air conditioners but because low voltage lines are close to vegetation. might catch fire easily as well as burn more in such conditions.  

here in Thailand the problem is even more simple to figure out.  it is of arsonists, uneducated farmers and even lower class locals in neighboring foreign countries like Laos etc.  but California is on planet Earth, which just this past July had the hottest month ever recorded, even though it was barely above a neutral ENSO.  northern Thailand only has to deal with "man made" trouble makers because it is.... Thailand.  floating above the Earth.

On the 'watch' for pollution!

[WeekendRaider]

absolutely stunning.  The New York Times, which I have been reading since it was required in junior high school, acknowledged that California is being affected by "Climate Change".  this is the same newspaper that eagerly applied the "it's only about some ice melting in 2100 something" narrative for many decades.   I know, a daily reader for 50 years about.  and from New York!  imagine that, where we would still be making Charles Bronson movies were it not for..... deregulated air travel and tourism.  trust me on that too, many New Yorkers [wink wink] are quite expert on all of the above alluded to.  including folks who own stuff like expensive golf resorts and fancy hotels.  duh.

 

in today's coverage on page 1 of the PG&E blackout control room story. 

but in Thailand, there is no connection at all on these threads.  instead we have arsonists.  uneducated farmers  (who don't even speak Pasa Thai!  which many 'farlang' spend a lot of time trying to learn but never even get the vowel durations or tones anywhere close to sounding like a Thai dialect).  and of course other farmers and arsonists in Laos and Burma.

but on this blog it somehow almost never seems to be connected to...... science based "intellectual" stuff.  which has dotted connections to not just eating meat..... but air travel and tourism.  gulp.  so we have arsonists!  uneducated farmers! .... and California, even in the New York Times now, has a different related "political agenda" (belonging to Mother Nature if you need to put a face on it, which apparently a lot of folks need to do).

for me.  Co2 and methane and the IPCC forcings chart do it pretty good.  but hey, that's just me it seems.

Keep repeating this mantra and people will start to believe it's not Thailand's fault. Stop passing the buck.

 

It is Thailand's problem, caused by Thais on Thai soil.

no worries, if it gets really bad the PM will issue an order to solve it within 7 days.

Breaking News.....!!!! Prawit has ordered fans to be set up out the city to alleviate the haze
