The result of El Niño is caused by winds that weaken and change direction, blowing from the eastern Pacific Ocean to the western Pacific Ocean. causing warm currents to flow to South America representing the Southeast region and Australia This causes a lack of rain and drought, and La Niña, which is caused by winds blowing from the eastern side of the Pacific Ocean to the western side of the Pacific Ocean as before. But the wind is stronger than usual, causing the current to warm. Flowing more to Southeast Asia As a result, Southeast Asia and Australia have higher sea levels. More heavy rain than usual causes the weather to fluctuate, extremely hot, very cold, and intense monsoons, which has a greater impact on human life. Due to the unbalance of nature, this summer the heat temperature In Southeast Asia, the highest average temperature is more than 40 degrees Celsius. Drought conditions occur faster and last for a long time. make agriculture Livestock are directly affected by the National Water Resources Office. It is stated that the extreme weather will have a severe impact on the use of water in agriculture and public consumption. The highest recorded temperature was 44.2 degrees Celsius in Thoen District, Lampang Province, in Mueang District, Phetchabun Province. It was 44.1 degrees Celsius. Mueang District, Kanchanaburi Province, measured 44.0 degrees Celsius. It will have a direct impact on agriculture. Because the amount of water that can be used right now is only about 18,000 million cubic meters, or 35 percent of the total amount of agricultural water. While this year’s planting area has reached 10.21 million rai or 126 percent of the planting plan. This means that with more farmers planting than planned water consumption, we are dealing with the variability of extreme weather conditions This causes more rain, floods, droughts and forest fires. Analysis of data from The Department of Climate Change and Environment found that the number of periods of cold weather is from 16 degrees Celsius down to normally having cold weather between December and February, approximately 60 days. It was found that the northern region had less cold weather. Down to 45 days. Northeast only 30 days of cold. The amount of heavy rain is more than 35.1 mm., increasing the influence of climate change. causing the world to enter the era of global boiling, which is caused in part by humans, emitting more greenhouse gases Joining the Paris Agreement has the goal of controlling global temperature to no more than 1.5-2 degrees Celsius every year and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 43 percent by 2030, which Thailand is also a member of, but has not been successful. Today the flooding is still severe. Heat waves are getting higher and higher. Drought conditions are lasting longer. Wildfires are so intense they can’t be controlled. We are still so far from reducing global warming that we are quickly entering the era of global warming because we are still solving global problems like straw fires.
