Bangkok teetering, but Thailand still has chance to lead battle against climate change

Well, I believe Thailand is "chair" for a year or so, but "leader" suggests it is actually doing some leading of those 77 very important nations.  Does anyone have any good examples of that leadership, since that is a commodity which seems to be a bit lacking in its own country?

As you brought it up maybe you should be the one to produce evidence of your thinly veiled claim of no leadership.

I do get tired of this huge scam.

In the OP it says they are trying to keep the rise to 1.5 degrees C and that seems to be the generally accepted allowable change.

The pictures they use to "prove" climate change is of melting glaciers etc. Water freezes at 0 degrees C. I am sure that the temperature where glaciers etc were was lower than 1.5 degrees below freezing. Ergo, either temperatures have risen more than 1.5 degrees ( a lot more ), or there is something else going on that they are not telling us.

Either way, as long as the population continues to increase, there is nothing, zero that they can do to change it.

It's just an excuse to control us and raise taxes while they carry on the same as always.

 

BTW, Iceland has discovered a way to remove CO2 from the atmosphere, permanently, so why is more investment not being made into that technology?

Do you seriously think that permanently removing CO2 from the atmosphere is a good thing?   You don't seem to know that life on earth could not exist without CO2.

If only this were true. 97% of scientists now agree that the earth is warming, 84% believe that humans are contributing to it and 74% believe this is substantiated by scientific evidence. It's tough to deny at this point.

 

 

97%/84%/74% of scientists eh? These figures are typical of nonsense phoney climate change statistics that are constantly rammed down  our throats by the looney left, wind turbine share holders, and other assorted tree hugging zealots. Let's look at this scientifically: Please first define what 'scientist' means, then list the names of all 'scientists', and finally indicate the names of all the 'scientists' that make up the 97%/84%/74%.

 

The climate change industry had a good run, lecturing us and blighting the countryside with daft wind turbines that kill birds and don't generate electricity reliably. Times are changing, and people don't believe in all that nonsense anymore.

Well said. Plants need CO2 to survive, and without plants there wouldn't be anything to eat. Beer bubbles are made from CO2 as well, and we definitely wouldn't want to drink flat lager :-)
