How is global warming affecting Thailand these days?

Thats not proof. Thats just estimates and models.

Ok then what exact % of cc is man?

 

Show me 100 scientists who agree on the %

I'm not here to do that research for you. You are the one interested in that specific topic, not me.

 

What I know is that most climate scientists agree on the fact that pumping CO2 in the atmosphere is slowly but surely killing us and that what matters.

That's not true. Deaths from extreme weather events are down 99% over the past century.

Show me a peer reviewed paper proving the difference between natural cycles and man.

 

There arent any.

Peer reviewed paper on model errors

As far as I know, nobody is saying that current models are perfect.

Doesn't mean that global warming is trivial or fake.

What's your point exactly?

The fact that I am too lazy to prove you wrong does not prove you right, it proves that I am lazy.

Paper shows models were wrong on the high side. ie models are based on assumptions that were wrong.

 

The other article shows climate deaths falling by 99%.

 

That is the point. 

 

The scare doesnt much the facts.

Yeah. Do you know why? Because we are better at managing those events.

But what happens the day we can't manage them anymore because they become too costly or to frequent or occur on scales that are too large?

 

What happens when you need to move not a couple of thousands but hundred of thousands of people to prevent a disaster? Tell me. Who is going to organize and pay?

 

And of course poor people will suffer the most because they can't buy the required infrastructure.

This is an opinion piece by a political scientist climate change denier, hardly an expert in the field, who doesn't have a very good record of presenting accurate info in his columns, as noted by PolitiFact in reviewing another of his columns during the same period:

 

https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2021/sep/09/bjorn-lomborg/hurricanes-and-climate-change-getting-real-numbers/

 

"Lomborg is a Danish political scientist and president of Copenhagen Consensus Center, a Danish think tank. He has long questioned conventional wisdom on climate change."

...

"Lomborg focused on a limited number of hurricanes and pushed the data beyond what the research supports. We rate this claim Half True."

A 99% fall in deaths is massive. Clearly planes, trucks and computers help.

 

52m people die each year. 

 

Worrying about things you cannot control isnt going to solve anything.

China not worried about co2 going up.

 

[1FinickyOne]

In the north we had a very long cold season, a short and rainy hot hot season, and a very rainy light rainy season... 

 

not typical in any way to any other year of more than 20 than I am here,

As a matter of fact I don't drive a car but I do travel by plane occasionally.

If you're implying that I'm promoting the end of modern civilization because I'm stating scientific facts, you're losing it.

Which facts did you state? I posted links on climate disasters. Deaths down 99%.

 

Thai flood in 2011 was very bad but Thailand has very poor flood mitigation strategies and despite 10m in Bangkok deaths were under 400. China flood 1931  had 1m+ deaths

 

1m vs 400. Big difference.

That's garbage. Science and statistics can extrapolate from data to measure stuff like atmospheric CO2, temperatures, sea levels and ocean acidity with a high degree of accuracy

This was not a thread about the same garbage we always end up discussing and repeat to death if clima change is a hoax or not. 

 

Ai, for those who want to repeat themselves to death, be my guest! Have fun not die!

Had much hotter sex with me wife this year. Otherwise, it same same.....

[Sparktrader]

Climate change is real. Man impact on environment real. Matter of degrees and common sense ( thats what is lacking and turns people off).

 

Flooding in Thailand is seasonal and mitigation is poor. 

 

Thailand in 2022 or 1980 you could get flooded out in wet season.

Deforestation an issue. Other countries planting trees.

 

  The earth is literally getting greener. Today, there is five percent more foliage than twenty years ago, and it is primarily ambitious tree planting projects and intensive agriculture, mainly in China and India, that are behind the increase. This is according to satellite data from NASA Earth Observatory.5 Mar 2021

It is a huge difference between an old natural forrest, and especially rain forrestes, and new modern agriculture, or land that grows back by weed. 
 

An natural culture landscape have important functions for ground water, cooling effects and more. 

[Sparktrader]

Thailand is the sixth-largest contributor of plastic waste in the ocean. Every year, an estimated 87 per cent of recyclable plastic in Thailand is improperly recycled or disposed of, leading to an estimated 322,000 tonnes of plastic in the ocean.

8bn people you cant feed them without crops. Co2 grows crops. Ironic thing.

 

Over population is a real issue.

 

Also plastic as noted.

 

Less money in plastic clean ups than co2 taxes. Follow the money to see which issues are on tv.

Lanta beaches low season. Covered in glass and plastic. Go have a look.

China also engages in all kinds of, let's be modest to say, unsavory conduct in a variety of fields... Not sure you really want to be using them as your yardstick.
