bangon04 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 A major debate is raging across the developed world as to whether global warming (man-made or not) is a reality or not. But luckily someone at the weather centre in Thailand has the definitive answer. Amusing Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeavyDrinker Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I just had all of our Air Con units in the house and at the condo serviced in readiness for the coming Hot Season.... Typical!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buchholz Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Global warming causes cold weather? Did the onset of the Ice Age signal rising warmer temperatures? Does rain cause things to get wet? Is snow really cold to the touch or does it just feel that way? Is the sun really yellow or does it just seem that way because people haven't stared at it long enough?

jonclark Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 At least the drop in temp should mean less CO2 being emitted as the demand for electicity for Air Con units dips. As for the comments in the OP - Any evidence or are you comments just sound bites pulled from your arse?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyDrinker Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 The whole issue isn't so much about 'Global Warming' these days. They changed the goal posts a few years ago to 'Climate Change' as they realised that maybe 'Global Warming' tied their hands a little too much The truth is that while Mankind may or may not have contributed to 'Climate Change' weather patterns have shifted throughout history. I'd like to know what the lowest recorded temperature for Bangkok in March is though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trogers Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Climate change - colder in some parts of the world means hotter in some other parts. Same for rainfall. If this is not caused by man, then the cause is probably extraterrestrial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't have info for that... but Weather in Bangkok in March 24 = Average Minimum Temperatures in Bangkok, Thailand (°C) 33 = Average Maximum Temperature in Bangkok, Thailand (°C) 29 = Bangkok Average Temperature (°C) 34 = Average Precipitation/ Rainfall (mm) 77 = Relative Humidity (%) 00 = Average Number of Days with Frost http://www.climatetemp.info/thailand/bangkok.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another site said the record low in Bangkok for March is 57F (14C), we got pretty close to that last night. Can't find the record for the lowest high temperature, I wonder how close we are today Edited March 17, 2011 by DP25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul123456 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 A major debate is raging across the developed world as to whether global warming (man-made or not) is a reality or not. But luckily someone at the weather centre in Thailand has the definitive answer. Amusing Thailand. There is no major debate about climate change. It is an accepted scientific fact. Some businesses and political interest groups are trying to produce a debate for their own benefit, but almost all scientific evidence shows that we are changing the earth's climate by releasing large amounts of carbon into the atmosphere.

Carbon into the atmosphere, combined with unprecedented population growth, clear cutting of forests, diversion of natural water flows, etc....somethings gotta give somewhere?
