If water temperatures do not cool, more coral will die, Lalita said.

The fuck do you mean “if”

We could stop all our carbon emissions today — all of them — and the feedback loops that are already underway would play out and keep everything getting hotter for at least a decade, whether or not that’s survivable for the coral or the fish or the crops we eat or the human body itself.

As it is, though, we’re still pouring more gasoline on the fire. Don’t say “if” like it’s not defined what’s in store for them.

Well thats just factually wrong it defiantly is warming not boiling i highly doubt the sea water is reaching 100degC.

In recent years, car ownership in Thailand has annecdotal seemed to rise. The money/power is all centralized in Bangkok so even though public transport is plentiful in the capital, provinces don’t get the money or freedom to design better cities so everything has been moving from motorcycle parking to parking lots & it is sad. Electric vehicles are creeping in but it is still locked to home owners that can charge at home as there is little infrastructure for charging outside of it.

If they really wanted, there would be a wealth of clean energy to be tapped in undewater & above water turbines in the Gulf of Thailand.

Energy aside, the whole geographic region has a colloquially “burning season” where sugar cane & other crops get burned to the ground is the fastest/cheapest means of clearing the field & everyone in power turns a blind eye instead of offering subsidy & enforcing policy. There’s like a month that everyone wears a mask to deal with human-made burning pollution.
