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

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

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

  • 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!

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

    Earth climate has been fluctuating throughout history.

  • @JuanVoyce it cause by climate change, LA NINA

  • @HenryDavidT because the Military can intervene them.
