No doubt, he will wear something yellow and tell everyone that the sufficiency theory is the solution to global warming.

Frankly, I's not sure what the PM has to say on this issue that's anything but pious rhetoric. George Bush has been a disaster on this issue but there aren't too many countries that have taken significant action, as opposed to just talking about it - Thailand included.
I doubt that Thailand has enacted a single law, much less a comprehensive group of environmental laws, designed to significantly reduce the emmissions originating here and causing global warming. In fact, Thailand seems to be going in the other direction, creating more emmissions by using more and more coal to produce energy because of the high price of oil. I suspect the PM won't be talking about that and other inconvenient truths at the UN.
