Popular Post webfact Posted April 26 Popular Post Share Posted April 26 Picture: Creative Commons License via Bing A recent report from the United Nations reveals that Asia, identified as the world's disaster centre, is significantly affected by climate-related disruptions like floods, storms, extreme temperatures, and melting glaciers. The World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) concludes that Asia, warming at an alarming rate, is the most affected region in the unfolding climate crisis, with forecasts predicting an increase in catastrophic events. WMO Chief Celeste Saulo warns that "the report's conclusions are sobering." The impacts of these climate changes, ranging from record-breaking heatwaves to consistent heavy rains, have severe effects on human lives, economies, and ecosystems. The 'State of the Climate in Asia 2023' report highlights worsening climate indicators and their grim outcomes. Asia continues to bear the brunt of these weather-related disasters, with floods and storms causing considerable loss of life and livelihoods. From the vanishing glaciers to the rising sea levels, and heatwaves encompassing areas from Siberia to Japan, Asia is teetering on the brink of a climate catastrophe. Floods have decimated communities and storms caused extensive destruction, resulting in the loss of over 2000 lives and displacing millions, according to TRT World. However, the WMO urges immediate action on reducing emissions and adapting to the climate changes. In a related development, northern Thailand anticipates a severe heatwave, with temperatures predicted to break previous records, reaching up to 44 degrees Celsius. The intense heatwave is due to a low-pressure area covering northern Thailand. Concurrently, the Ministry of Public Health highlighted the dangers of heatwaves after identifying 30 heatstroke-related deaths this year. -- 2024-04-26 Get our Daily Newsletter - Click HERE to subscribe 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"none of those beach front properties on the oceans could be insured"... some coastal property regions are becoming uninsurable in New Zealand.. but then in your world, maybe Thailand won't be affected by rising sea levels.. but if you ever did any research on these sorts of subjects, then you would know that sea level rise is a very slow but progressive fact... - it is the storms surges that are causing the most damage... not just going out and finding the sea level has gone up a few mm....

You don't understand that there are no natural forces causing the current warming. In fact, natural forces without all that pollution should be in a cooling trend. Solar output is down, but the planet keeps warming. The same rich people who seem to control your thinking about climate change are investing in electric cars and developing jets. And don't think some old rich guy with beach property cares that it may be submerged in 50 years. Look, I get it. Science was not your strongest subject in school. But just because you don't understand the science doesn't make it wrong. 4 1 1 2 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Danderman123 Posted April 26 Popular Post Share Posted April 26 1 hour ago, connda said: Source? It's hearsay without a source that explains the big picture. With climate change creating more extreme weather events, insurance companies are forced to pay out larger claims, leading them to adjust premiums to maintain profitability. The rising costs of materials and construction also contribute to the uptick in insurance prices, as rebuilding expenses surge along with the overall inflation of the housing market. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Danderman123 Posted April 26 Popular Post Share Posted April 26 Driving around Pattaya, it's obvious that the Songkran rains have not come, and the countryside is beginning to dry out. I suspect that there isn't a lot of irrigation infrastructure, so if it doesn't start raining soon, the hot weather is going to have dire consequences. This hot spell itself isn't proof of climate change, but if such weather becomes common, that would be as a result of climate change. Climate is what you expect, weather is what you get. I expect rain this time of year. Let's hope it comes in the next few weeks . 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it was California, Florida insurance is merely getting prohibitively expensive 2x-3x the amount normally paid. I don't live there so I don't care, just something I saw on Youtube.
