PM Ah Loong ND Rally is to talk about climatic change

Climate change is an important thing that affects all sinkies, just like the war that PM Lee declared on diabetes in his previous NDP rally.

I hope the GST would be raised so that we can have more money to build embankments to protect us from rising sea levels.

If Singapore is serious about climate change it can start by banning the use of gas guzzling cars and mandating the use of PMDs for the majority of commutes.

john talk about rising seas levels.

'Sinking' Pacific nation is getting bigger: study

Map showing Tuvalu in the Pacific.
The Pacific nation of Tuvalu—long seen as a prime candidate to disappear as climate change forces up sea levels—is actually growing in size, new research shows.

A University of Auckland study examined changes in the geography of Tuvalu's nine atolls and 101 reef islands between 1971 and 2014, using aerial photographs and satellite imagery.
It found eight of the atolls and almost three-quarters of the islands grew during the study period, lifting Tuvalu's total land area by 2.9 percent, even though sea levels in the country rose at twice the global average.
Co-author Paul Kench said the research, published Friday in the journal Nature Communications, challenged the assumption that low-lying island nations would be swamped as the sea rose.
"We tend to think of Pacific atolls as static landforms that will simply be inundated as sea levels rise, but there is growing evidence these islands are geologically dynamic and are constantly changing," he said.
"The study findings may seem counter-intuitive, given that (the) sea level has been rising in the region over the past half century, but the dominant mode of change over that time on Tuvalu has been expansion, not erosion."
It found factors such as wave patterns and sediment dumped by storms could offset the erosion caused by rising water levels.
The Auckland team says climate change remains one of the major threats to low-lying island nations.
But it argues the study should prompt a rethink on how such countries respond to the problem.
Rather than accepting their homes are doomed and looking to migrate to countries such as Australia and New Zealand, the researchers say they should start planning for a long-term future.
"On the basis of this research we project a markedly different trajectory for Tuvalu's islands over the next century than is commonly envisaged," Kench said.
"While we recognise that habitability rests on a number of factors, loss of land is unlikely to be a factor in forcing depopulation of Tuvalu."
The study's authors said island nations needed to find creative solutions to adapt to climate change that take into account their homeland's evolving geography.
Suggestions included moving populations onto larger islands and atolls, which have proved the most stable and likely to grow as seas rise.
"Embracing such new adaptation pathways will present considerable national scale challenges to planning, development goals and land tenure systems," they said.
"However, as the data on island change shows there is time (decades) to confront these challenges."

Where to begin the fart and shit of NDR?


1) Promised of "NO ONE WILL BE LEFT BEHIND", 30 years later, PAP salaries sky rocketted, Sinkies salaries depressed
2) Promised of "FOREIGNERS ARE HERE TO CREATE JOBS", 20 years later, half of sinkies became JOBLESS or drive cabs, jobs stolen by CHEAP FAKE TALENTS.
3) Promised of "SWISS STANDARD OF LIVING", the whole Singapore infrastructure broke down for years with no sign of improvement
4) Promised "OLD FOLKS TO AGE GRACEFULLY in their GOLDEN YEARS", ended up seeing more elderly suicide, picking cardboards clearing tables and CPF locked up.
5) Promised "GST HIKE IS TO HELP THE POOR", Singaporeans were told to eat cheap bread, no prawn just eat fish and steal free wifi
6) Promised "TO IMPROVED PRODUCTIVITY BY VARIOUS INCENTIVE SCHEMES", today we are still lacking behind many other developed countries in productivity & Services.

7) Promised "HDB ASSET ENHANCEMENT" , today HDB aged above 50 will see their value plunged like waterfall.
8) Promised "LION CITY WILL BECOME A CITY OF VIBRANT" , 2011, PAP lost Aljunied GRC for a good reason.
9) Promised "A CITY OF AFFORDABILITY", lastest international survey shows Singapore is the MOST EXPENSIVE CITY IN THE WORLD to live in
10) Promised "TO HELP FIGHT NATION OF DIABETIC", Medical fee went up and PAP helped themselves to the fund of our Insurance premium hike
11) Promised "TO BECOME A SMART NATION" POFMA was passed to tighten flow of internet information, people are encouraged to only read from main stream news.
12) Promised "THE GOVT WILL LISTEN TO OPPOSING VOICES", ended up many oppositions were sued, locked up and brankrupted and several venues not approved for opposition activities.

13) When all the above PROMISES FAILED, pretend to faint at the NDR and cut short his craps.

14) TONIGHT National Day Rally again,.....your guess is as good as mind. This guy has no lack of sense of humor to talk about "CLIMATE CHANGE" and while Singaporeans are at their lowest in decades?

The only climate change after this Erection is that the Looney and Ho-nny will have to run road, if Sinkies got the balls.

If Sinkies really have balls, it doesn't matter even if they managed to run road. Refer to Trotsky.

Many ways to skin a cat.

An air con unit uses electricity to take heat out from indoor and pump it OUTDOOR. It is the prime and only function.

Literally global warming units EVERYWHERE in sinkieland.

So unless you dont use any air conditioning and boycott all places that have aircon, dont talk cock about being climate change friendly.

One of the biggest charlatans are the guys behind that huge air conditioned gardens by the bay saying they are some environmental friendly net zero park bullshit.

Carbon emissions has no impact on the climate.

But let's suppose that it does. The PAP regime, especially during the last 15 years under Lee Hsien Loong, has decimated acres of secondary forest to build your condos, MRT stations, bus depots etc. Your precious tropical rainforests, the 'lungs' of the tropical region, gone.

So, even if he subscribes to the carbon-climate alarmist religion, showing concern for it now is sheer hypocrisy. Or use it as a pretext for implementing a carbon tax, or appeal to the millennial first-time voters (Gallup had recently done an islandwide survey which touched on this).
