Advancing floods test Bangkok's defences

[patrickcairns1960]

New Orleans is sinking man an i don't want to swim.. Tragicaly Hip Song

[thomashusted]

A little over a week ago the Thai PM said now way would Bangkok be flooded. All one had to do was look at a satellite photo of all the water North of Bangkok that eventually would have to drain out to the sea through Bangkok to know that statement was a bunch of BS. The government is still not telling the people the truth or accepting any help from outside Thailand as they just want to save face instead of save lives!

[AerieOgi]

No, global warming is reality, but has nothing to do with human CO2 emissions.

Earth climate has been fluctuating throughout history.

[getona]

don't believe in yingluck fake government. told my mum to move her furniture like 4 months ago and people thought i was mad :D now all their home/furniture in the dump. blame stupidy government

[yourtreat2]

Just a spot of bad weather, as usual.

Nothing to be concerned about.

[psykiidellic]

Those food boxs are full of long life food in packets and those foam boxs will float.

[sl2k4u]

[kage574]

[AccessDenied55]

Poor Thailand....

I hope they get help...

[BoydJones]

Poor, poor urban planning. Paving over wetlands = flooding like this.

[HenryDavidT]

Different people and nations, indeed, do have different views about natural disasters.

Here in America, one big tornado tearing through a small city of 1,500 with 200 or so homes devasted and we declare "emergency," enabling the locals to seek extra federal help.

In Thailand, whole provinces are under water, up to chest-high, in many areas, and the PM & her advisors still debate whether to declare the catastrophe an "emergency" situation?

How odd.

[getona]

@HenryDavidT because the Military can intervene them.

[thatzombieplace]

god bless thailand

[electronicsunshine]

F*uck thai government, always bullsh*t and worsen the situation.

Yingluck (brainless) can't manage anything.

it's thai army that work hard and thai people try to help each others.

[usboybill]

as a climatology student i'd like to say that more rain IS a part of climate change, get educated

[rihc2]

@usboybill Or just tell him and dont be a dick about it, But well done, now everyone knows your really smart.

[JuanVoyce]

The problem here is too much rain--not climate change.

[johan404]

@JuanVoyce Too much rain is climate change.

[JuanVoyce]

@johan404 So Climate Change would not explain the droughts Thailand experienced in 1990-93, 2005, and 2008?

[getona]

@JuanVoyce it cause by climate change, LA NINA

[JuanVoyce]

@getona La Nina not cause by climate change it part of ENSO system that oscillate 3-4 years

[TheDonSante]

Get out of there now, its sinking!!!

[awesome220]

Where is proof this is connected to global warmings>

[Reddylion]

situation out of control

[HDaviator]

A big middle finger to all those that say global warming is a myth.

[Shonenut213]

@HDaviator And this is "proof" how exactly? It is NOT YOU FAIL!

[HDaviator]

@Shonenut213

The water level is rising, due to the melting of the ice caps. It is as good proof as any. If you disagree with climate change, you disagree with the majority of scientists from around the world. Please get educated.

[mispistoleros]

@HDaviator, all the planets in the solar system are heating up, not just earth. humans cause catastrophic pollution but aren't responsible for "global warming".

[Perseiden2]

@mispistoleros

too many people in thailand

[djmussy18]

@Perseiden2 too many people in this world.

[sfogfgokjsogjsdfks]

@HDaviator this flooding is due to too much rain causing rivers to overflow, not rising sea levels

[antandbigdog]

@HDaviator

The landmass of Thailand is sinking below sea level, nothing to do with the global warming hoax.

[HDaviator]

@antandbigdog

The landmass isn't sinking lmfao. The water level is rising. There is a big difference.

[Theethruth]

@HDaviator floods have occurred before, just because there is a flood now doesn't mean its specifically because of global warming -__-
