ABSTRACT
Examines a UN-backed study into the potential socioeconomic effects of climate change on Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand. It was conducted to make the countries more aware of the issues raised by climatic change and help them adopt sound policies to combat global warming. Reveals widescale human suffering as a result of climate change; What the general circulation models (GCM) saw for this area; Why the Earth Summit has come two years too early for developing countries.

    Running correlations between pairs of stochastic time series are typically characterized by low-frequency evolution. This simple result of sampling variability holds for climate time series but is not often recognized for being merely noise. As an example, this paper discusses the historical...
