jonclark Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Sorry to sound negative. But, what exactly are these efforts - I have seen no evidence of what they are and how people are meant to participate in them? More cars on the road, greater demand for tech goods and shopping malls that use more electricity than entire provinces. The public are participating in these efforts, that''s for sure. Given the photo and these sterling efforts by the public is the aim to raise temp by 2 degrees? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they want the 66 million citizens to stop breathing for a day, that will cut down on the CO2 emissions and the population as well. They really have no clue and are just allowing the globalists, who are leading them by the nose. It will just end with the Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brer Fox Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 A petroleum company (Banchak Petroleum Pcl) holding a climate change mitigation conference? What! The sanctimoniousness of it is breathtaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said the "experts" while wearing a full suit when it's over 30 degree's celcius in the whole country. And where can we buy double thermopane windows? Have you ever seen a well insulated house/building anywhere? When will they fix the traffic-congestion? Costs loads of extra fuel especially for all those far too big cars they even can't drive/park. Or those smelly ancient buses who blow huge black fumes into the city? But they are sure Thailand can do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brain150 Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Even if Thailand would cut CO2 by 100% to zero the atmosphere would not even notice it !!! Total CO2 in the atmosphere: 0.036% Out of this 0.036% it's about 6% man made ! Thailand produces maybe 0.1% out of these 6% from 0.036% .... that's quite many zeros AFTER the comma if you calculate it ! ... common sense is completely out of this discussion ! Plain madness and insanity, nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brain150 Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 0.036% in decimal is 0.0036 6% in decimal is 0.06 0.1% in decimal is 0.001 => 0.0036 x 0.06 x 0.001 = 0.000 000 216 * 100 = 0.0000216% Next you tell me is that the oceans get acidic because I peed into it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfokevin Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 My guess is they can easily meet the 20% emission reduction by inforcing the basic emission standards on the TukTuks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
