Here is a Bangkok post article that sheds some light
U-TAPAO
Nasa's relief centre plan 'irked China'
Published: 5/07/2012 at 01:36
BEIJING : China was not worried about Nasa's now-cancelled weather research project but more concerned about the US request to use U-tapao airport as a centre for its regional Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR) project, Foreign Minister Surapong Tovichakchaikul says.
Mr Surapong said he discussed the two issues with his Chinese counterpart Yang Jiechi during a working lunch meeting yesterday.
While some in Thailand believed China was worried about Nasa's request to use the Thai naval air base to research weather conditions over Southeast Asia, Beijing, in fact, voiced more concern about the US request to use the base for the HADR project, he said.
Mr Surapong did not elaborate on why Beijing was worried about the use of U-tapao as an HADR centre, saying he would reveal more details when he speaks to the media at the Foreign Ministry tomorrow.
"Everything will be clear that day. Those who do not understand the issues and try to mix them together will know that they, in fact, do not know anything. I believe the opposition party which opposed the Nasa project will be lost by the facts if they learn them from me," Mr Surapong said.
Nasa scrapped the project to conduct the climate study using U-tapao airport as a base after the cabinet decided to forward the issue to parliament for a joint debate next month.
The US request to use U-tapao airport for HADR has not been finalised, pending talks between Bangkok and Washington.
The US government would like to use U-tapao airport because it is centrally located for use in helping other countries in the region.
Former prime minister Abhisit Vejjajiva proposed at the Asean-UN Summit in 2010 that U-tapao airport be used as a base for HADR as Southeast Asia had experienced natural disasters more frequently in recent years.
Mr Abhisit said many countries have used Thailand to distribute disaster relief supplies because of its central location in Southeast Asia.

Just for the record, Al Gore never said he "invented" the Internet. He made the entirely reasonable claim that he had been instrumental in securing the funding for much of basic research that lead to the development of the Internet. If you care at all about facts rather than well worn character smears invented by political hacks, you might want to check out the following article by two of the actual "inventors" of the Internet, Vint Cerf and Robert Kahn.

A brief quote -
"No one in public life has been more
intellectually engaged in helping to create the climate for a thriving
Internet than the Vice President. Gore has been a clear champion of this
effort, both in the councils of government and with the public at large."
Next time you use the Internet to spread misinformation about public figures, you might take a moment to thank Al Gore for his role in allowing you to amuse yourself in this thoughtless way.

Al Gore from the average Australian point of view would have been a great president.....it's sad he perhaps got shifted.
His attension to promoting " real science" was enlightened to a cause that will be the real issue of this century.

He has also been the most rabid champion of the scientificallydiscredited witchery called "Global Warming", which among its far too many inconstancies, when presented with evidence of equally record setting "Global Cooling", distorts data to try to use even that as proof of warming. ROTFLMAO
One of his personal homes has been cited for its "carbon footprint" (his term) being more than 20 times as great as the average US home.

Adventure Guy and expatchuck - maybe you should stop using the Internet as it is obviously a conspiracy by Al Gore to enrich himself, not to mention it's obvious liberal bias.
I suggest you try carrier pigeons or pneumatic tubes.

Maybe you can point out to me where I made the claim the Internet invention was what made Gore rich?
I am assuming you must have overlooked my closing statement about "tree hugging", or perhaps it was too cryptic for your comprehension.
As to your last suggestion, I don't like pigeons as they shit entirely too much. I never liked Gore because he is so full of it.
