Historic flooding is heading for the capital of Thailand. Climate change is again validated in print, data and reality.

Remember this story about climate change and predicted flooding and this mind-boggling chart, on which Bangkok appears.

  1. Oh, the other reason for the flooding in Bangkok is suburban sprawl. Wisconsinites beware. This is what's coming your way

  2. Yes. And Bangkok has never flooded before. And hurricanes have never hit the east coast of the U.S. or Mexico. The sky is falling, the sky is falling.

  3. I guess that's why the world insurance industry has been warning against climate change for years and years.

  5. "Yes. And Bangkok has never flooded before."

    This is the worst flood Bangkok has ever faced. It might surprise you Republicans, but there are mild floods, and severe floods. Your inability to understand such distinctions is why it is impossible to be an engineer and a republicans nowadays.

    " And hurricanes have never hit the east coast of the U.S. or Mexico. The sky is falling, the sky is falling."


    If you have even on testicle, go to Central America, to one of the areas hit by landslides from the increasingly frequent and intense rainstorms, and try to tell them that it's nothing new and they're just whining.

    Eunuch.
