“Climate change stimulates this natural phenomenon. Various natural phenomena, such as coral bleaching or plankton bloom, have occurred naturally for thousands to tens of thousands of years. However, when global warming occurs, it intensifies and increases the frequency of existing phenomena.”
“In Thailand, we employ the use of chemical fertilizers persistently, and there are no signs this will be reduced. Moreover, global warming is continuing to rise steadily. Rainfall amounts will increase. With these factors, this occurrence will become more intense, or more frequent, or both, in the future.”
