Re: climate change
Thanks Noosard The article below is in part titled Reality Check" Extracts from the Article suggest, 1.The world needs a “reality check” on its move from fossil fuels to renewable energy, with JPMorgan warning that it may take “generations” to hit net zero targets. (Net Zero being, achieving a balan...

Re: climate change
And Up to 1.1 billion tones of solid waste is being openly burned worldwide each year and risks the health of “tens of millions of people”, according to a review of the latest scientific evidence.

Re: Future energy sources?
So rather than worrying on how to produce more energy , how about looking at ways to reduce our needs on say electricity. A few years back Thailand's one major supplier of gas was Myanmar and they had a plan shutdown of the fields during the summer. The Thai Government requested that all major busi...

Re: Future energy sources?
Pip, appreciate your honesty Personally W, and I won't be around for it, but I would be more concerned about the future impact of A I on the human society than I would be about the longer term potential impact of fossil fuel, but that is just me. A I and its impact, good or bad, will here long befo...

Re: Future energy sources?
pip, your view of which you entitled to, just as much as I have. I just happend to disagree, and disagree to a great extent as I think such views are selfish. I have never proscribed to the 'I'm all right jack' philosophy. Take care of me and mine, of course, but also be part of a broader community...

Re: Future energy sources?
Pip has some good points, the transition away from fossil fuels will take time. However to claim to be a fan of fossil fuels and the resulting pollution, is akin to those who were fans of cigarettes in the 1960s claiming smoking was good for you. Your use of a metaphor but hardly an analogy. It all...

Re: Future energy sources?
People can forecast the demised of fossil fuels, but the reality is, at present and for the immediate if not medium distant future, the demand for fossil fuels by the World, continues to increase from year to year (if one looks at the demand measure by Million of Barrels per day and World consumptio...

Re: Foreigners behaving badly
[/quote] So many hypotheticals ....... but so little (video) evidence. At the end of the day, I am quite happy to accept, based on real evidence, that the NZ bros were just a couple of lawless thugs, and poor old Sgt Somsak, acting in accordance with his duty, was the victim of their thuggery.

Re: Foreigners behaving badly
I agree, pippo - if you transgress the local laws, you should be accountable. The point I am making is that we don't know what lead up to the altercation between the Thai BiB, and the NZ brothers. Take this report in the local press for instance: Even in NZ (I assume), and certainly in the various ...

Re: Foreigners behaving badly
The point I was trying to make JS was that if they did the same in NZ they would be in the Sh..t and if he did it in Australia they would definitely be in the Sh..t as it is a criminal offence on OZ, so that both cases probably they would probably be looking at time in jail, although granted the jai...

Re: Foreigners behaving badly
Whichever way you attempt to spi this story regarding the two Kiwis, anyone with a grain of sense never attacks the local plod even though they may be the most irritating obnoxious xenophobic people you have ever met. More so when your a tourist , no matter how entitled you think you are. I have on...

Re: Private Property Rights

Re: Private Property Rights
You also have to ask the question of how these squatters first gained entry into the the house since they were not born in it and were not invited into the house, by the Owner or another Authorized person, that first time. If they didn't walk through an open door (which is highly unlikely) then they...
