Phuket fines vexatious French wannabe 'dek waen' moto punks

A fleet of French bros set out last night on scooters just before midnight in a celebration of life that that was so obnoxious it ended with seven arrested and fined.

Phuketers did a double take last night when it turned out an annoying scooter gang juicing their engines and making noise at about 11pm was not comprised of Thai teens but rather fully grown Frenchmen joyriding along Patong Beach.

Police fined some of the unidentified French on public nuisance counts for irritating residents and other motorists after they gathered en masse to honk their horns, snarl traffic, rev their engines and make asses of themselves.

Acting on complaints about the noise and excessive exhaust fumes, Patong police detained several of the French bikers and fined them. Police said it was in the name of upholding Phuket’s sterling reputation.

It's angry too!

資料圖片,來源:Callum Shaw @ Unsplash立場博客綠惜地球現今過度虛耗資源的生活形態,可能給我們短暫滿足,長遠卻帶來環境敗壞。垃圾圍城、氣候變化、健康風險….. 我們真的只追求眼前物欲,不為自己的未來和下一代著想? 環保團體「綠惜地球」深信,大家都可以成為綠色公民,共同發揮零浪費的綠色正能量,及時扭轉環境敗壞,讓健康和綠色生活延續下去。現在就行動吧!https://www.facebook.com/greenearthhk按月贊助一杯咖啡【文:朱漢強(綠惜地球環境倡議總監)】 上天發脾氣,真的「唔係人咁品」。我說的,是全球氣候變化。 過去,「百年一遇」的天災新聞,已夠吸睛;可是極端天氣愈見頻繁,未來也許要待「千年一遇」或「萬年一遇」的災,才能走得進新聞門檻。 要回歸宜居的氣候指數,科學家說大氣中的二氧化碳濃度得維持在 350ppm(百萬分之三百五十)。只不過這個數字對上一次在我們的星球上出現,已經是 1988 年,之後的濃度便拾級而上。2016 年更衝破 400ppm 大關(403.3ppm),研究人員直言從未試過在一年間有這麼大的增幅,警告接下來的生態和經濟,都要付上代價。而所謂的大增幅,不過是 3.3 個 ppm。 美國作為全球第二大溫室氣體排放國,時任總統特朗普翌年(2017 年)6 月「多踩一腳」,宣布退出《巴黎協定》,儼如為發高燒的地球先生蓋上厚被。 但如同歌詞所唱:假使世界不似預期,也不要輕言放棄。同年年底,聯合國呼籲全球訂出碳中和的承諾和目標,於是出現「2050(年)俱樂部」,至今已有一百三十多個國家響應,它們的溫室氣體排放量佔全球 73%。這些國家致力在 2050 年前壓抑地球升溫,其中不丹和蘇利南兩個小國已經率先達至碳中和,英、法、丹麥、新西蘭、匈牙利、瑞典,則通過氣候立法,顯示對抗氣候變化的決心和行動力。 圖片來源:https://www.visualcapitalist.com 齊心好辦事,但這始終是動輒三十年的期票,得持續督促,希望美麗的承諾最終付諸實行。事實上,除了前述少數通過立法的國家,中、美、德等廿四個國家均只提出了氣候政策文件,仍待立法支撐。至於絕大部分九十九個有做承諾的國家(佔承諾國的 72%)則還處於「討論階段」,也就是暫時「得個講字」,最終能否落實、如何落實,都是未知數。 未知的,還有 2050 俱樂部的末段班。五個承諾在 2050 年後做到碳中和的國家,頭三個答應在 2060 年達標,它們分別是烏克蘭和哈薩克,以及排放全球最多溫室氣體的中國。至於新加坡和澳洲,甚至把達標年訂為 2050 至 2100 年。 有承諾的國家,當然也有不作承諾的,當中包括印度和俄羅斯,它們分別位列全球第四和第五大溫室氣體排放源。前者自辯說排放總量雖多,但人均排放數量卻很低。至於北極熊大國領導普京則指出,自己並非不認真看待氣候變遷,只是更擔憂推動碳中和會招致企業間的「不公平競爭」。 先不說誰好誰壞。事實上,打從 1997 年簽訂《京都議定書》以來,各工業國均沒有兌現過減排承諾,顯示大家補救的「肉緊」程度,遠遠追趕不上地球升溫之快,是故 2021 年 6 月的大氣二氧化碳濃度,才會創下 419ppm 的新高。 如果說上天發脾氣「唔係人咁品」,不如問,是誰一再招惹老天爺動怒? 原刊於 2021 年 9 月 24…
