sirineou Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Nonsense. will be underwater, if nothing is done. as water rises, so will the infrastructure. The per year rise will not be so substantial that properties will be abandoned. If water rises a couple of inches and starts getting close to the top of a sea wall . the property owner will simply build the seawall a foot taller. New buildings will backfill more basement pumping stations will be installed. etc. eventually might become economically unsustainable, but not in the near future.

Their doomsday deadlines seem to be perpetually 10 or 20 years in the future, year after year. At the end of the day, their projections and models seem to be as accurate as Nostradamus'. so what you are saying is that it is an inconvenient truth ? the 10 to 20 year time frame gives them enough time to make oooodles of money. then by that time be rich enough to not care of any false claims or criticism they will incur. maybe greta can chime in on this one......

Krataiboy Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Work appears already to be underway to reinforces sea defences at Cha Am. Thousands of tons of rocks have been dumped and a row of pylons hammered in along a stretch of the beach just south of the town centre. We all waiting to see what happens next in what looks like the first step towards creating a new, higher sea wall. Can anyone out there confirm what is actually going on? Maybe somebody with official clout got an early warning of the predicted Great Flood and took it seriously - which is more than can be said for most of ther posters on this Forum! (PS: I'm charging up my camera and will post a shot of the work in progress asap). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still at the same level as in 1990. It is not at the same level as 1990. After the beginning of industrialisation, sea levels started to raise slowly. From 1880 until today average sea levels raised by 25 cm, of that by 10 cm since 1990. We know now, that the increase is growing exponentially, not evenly. And the predictions are still not precise but they are getting more precise with every year. Another thing, the increase is not distributed evenly around the globe. Some cities such as Jakarta are already highly affected. Go there and watch the 1.60 m waterwalls they build. The water is a few cm below the top, of course which is partially because Jakarta is sinking. Bangkok had far lesser floods in 1995, the first year I came for business. Scientists universally agree that Asia will be most affected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many uneducated people fail to realize that climate has always been changing. Sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes a little, sometimes a lot. And they fail to realize that humanity and civilization has always done best and made its greatest gains during the warmer times. Not the colder times. There’s a reason you find the greatest biodiversity in the tropics around the equator, and not in the polar regions. There’s a reason people prefer to vacation and retire in the tropics, and not on the islands and coasts of the Arctic Ocean. Yes, the amount of ignorance is staggering.

As the decades go past, all their failed predictions make them look more and more like a paranoid global warming religious cult. Nearly all these dire and catastrophising predictions have proven to be wrong. I remember in the 1970s when the new Ice Age was claimed to be about to break upon us. Then it became 'global warming'; but after the temperature stubbornly refused to go up for about 18 years, the catch-all term, 'climate change', became the new mantra. It is total madness - hysteria at levels I have never witnessed before in my life. Climate always changes, and always will. It has been hotter and colder in the past, and hotter and colder again. The last thing that climate is, is permanently stable. Never has been, never will be. And it is clear that - even if the catastrophists are right (which they are not) - mankind is collectively NOT going to change it. Meantime, REAL pollution (not a natural, beneficial gas) - PM particulates - are damaging people's health, and nothing is being done about it. But we have a mal-used, autistic, OCD-afflicted young Swedish teenage girl (Greta Thunberg) ranting and snarling at the U.N. about 'carbon pollution' and telling us all 'I want you to panic. How DARE you!'. And all this over plant nutriment, CO2, which literally greens our world and makes food grow more abundantly. When politicians start pushing little kids into the forefront of their propaganda (all the Establishment goes into drooling ecstatsies and fawning, applauding servitude over Greta Thunberg) - you know a huge lie is being pushed upon the long-suffering people. Believe all the fake-green, cult-like, unbalanced hype who will. I am old enough and wise enough and informed enough not to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolf81 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 What a load of horsesh*t. How much would the water need to rise in 30 years for BKK to be under water? Certainly a few meters. Doubt that will happen in just 30 years. I'm sure seaside property will continue to appraise in value in the coming years, regardless of the alarmist climate change bullcr*p we keep hearing in the news every day. Maybe the sea will rise a few centimeters in that 30-year period. Whoop-di-f*cking-doo… Start building some dikes perhaps like The Netherlands have been doing for hundreds of years (if it wasn't for the dikes, half of The Netherlands would be under water).
