Children in northeast and south of Thailand at highest risk from climate change

[snoop1130]

 

The latest impact assessment report from UNICEF reveals that Children living in the northeastern and southern areas of Thailand are at a high risk of their health development and well-being being affected by climate change and environmental hazards, especially in the provinces of Ubon Ratchathani, Nakhon Ratchasima, Sri Sa Ket, Nakhon Sri Thammarat and Narathiwat.

 

The study, which examines various demographics, such as location, income, disability and age, shows that the primary climate hazards affecting children are floods, droughts and heat waves. The children, whose immune systems are far more susceptible to climate disasters and health risks, might suffer from water contamination, food insecurity and the spread of diseases.

 

The climate danger does not, however, only damage children’s health and development. Kyungsun Kim, the UNICEF Representative for Thailand, also warns that, if this issue remains unresolved, children will be exposed to more risk in other areas of life and well-being as well.

Is there anything that is not blamed on, so called, climate change?

There have been hot years and hot decades since the turn of the last century, and colder years and colder decades. But the overall measured temperature shows no clear trend over the last century, at least not one that suggests runaway warming.

 

That is, until the NOAA's statisticians "adjust" the data. Using complex statistical models, they change the data to reflect not reality, but their underlying theories of global warming. That's clear from a simple fact of statistics: Data generate random errors, which cancel out over time. So by averaging data, the errors mostly disappear.

But climate change doesn't exist.  How can they be risk of it?  When they built the pyramids it was a hot desert then the same as is now.

Right wing extremists cause climate change, not vice versa. ????
