Thailand's mitigation and adjustment efforts include a slow shift to natural agriculture, a tsunami caution system along the Andaman Sea, the building of a flood prevention wall around Bangkok, and an Action Plan to minimize greenhouse gas emissions from lorries and energy use. A study by Thailand's Graduate School of Energy and Environment examined the balance between methane and laughing gas emissions and rice yields. Thailand's total CO2 emissions doubled between 1991 and 2002 and the federal government acknowledged its contribution to worldwide warming. The following month, the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration published the 2007 Action Intend On Global Warming Mitigation, requiring decreases in Bangkok's greenhouse gas emissions by 15% listed below currently predicted 2012 levels. The land joining subsidence, combined with rising water level due to environment modification, puts the city at threat of disappearing into the sea within 15 or 20 years, according to Smith Dharmasaroja, chair of the Thai government's Committee of National Disaster Warning Administration. Thailand has begun implementing intriguing methods to adjust to environment change, to alleviate some of the impacts that are already felt throughout sectors, and to safeguard farmland, coasts and cities. The results of environment modification, consisting of higher surface area temperatures, floods, dry spells, severe storms and water level rise, put Thailand's rice crops at threat and threaten to immerse Bangkok within twenty years. In the future, water level increase, a proven effect of environment change according to IPCC reports, might contribute to even higher damage from tsunami waves.
