Question: How does climate change affect poverty?
I have to do a project on this for school. I have to create awarness of the way climate change affects poverty. I have searched this but i haven’t come up with sufficient results. There isn’t many websites with this kind of information.
Thank in advance!

ur answer my friend
if its too hot or too cold u need extra money to pay for a/c/ or heater
when we destroy this planet it wont matter if u are poor or rich u still gonna die the same, the main culprits for pollution atmo are india china and america all of which have extreme poverty within their society, but its not poverty that makes these countries like this its greed, poverty is a side effect of greed
Here on some links on the effects of climate change; in particular, you’ll be able to see from the one from Time that the largest effects will occur in Africa (click on the “People and Society tab/ then click on the Food and Products option from the drop down menu), a continent which is already stricken by poverty.
Climate change will simply make it harder to grow food, get access to clean drinking water, and stay healthy for those in the poorer nations, especially within Africa. This will only make their poverty worse, and perhaps cause war to break out over diminishing food and water supplies, which again will make the poverty even worse.

Stop Global Whining
A warmer climate equals less poverty.
When the climate is warmer, crops are easier to grow and produce more food.
During the Holocene Optimum (5000BC), during which, the average temperature was at its highest in millennia, human civilization experienced a growth in population and technology because the warmer climate cause domestication of animals and crops (yes it’s not coincidence that they happened at the same time). The same thing happened during the Mediaeval Warm Period (1400AD). Conversely during the Little Ice Age (1750AD), the population of Europe dwindled because of the lack of food and disease and poverty were quite rampant. Again this is no coincidence.
Therefore higher temperatures are better for everyone.
P.S. Someone above mentioned a site showing the deaths due to climate change. This is quite ridiculous as how can you possibly tell if someone died from climate change? Did they die from heatstroke? If they did how does that figure with the fact that climatic fluctuation is been negligible? Perhaps they were swept away in a flood? But much of the area shown with high deaths is inland and not in places that are prone to flooding (except India). Also I notice that most of the higher concentrations of deaths are in Africa and the Indian subcontinent. Surely if this was a global problem, the entire globe would be affected. Something tells me they just attribute any death by natural disaster to climate change. These two areas are notorious for natural disasters and have been for thousands of years.
Most of this is caused by idiotic programs promoted as good for the environment by promoters and followers of the AGW religions. A famous one of these is the infamous food for fuel ethanol program that diverted millions of tons of food that would have gone to starving people around the world killing several million through starvation. The financial cost of this is one of the items that raised gasoline to almost $ 5 a gallon and led to the speculation bubble that ended up breaking the worlds economy.
No it is not dangerous and never will be, several points have to be made here in that the disasters being promoted just cannot happen as they claim. Up front the Arctic Ocean was more free of ice and easier to navigate during WWII than it is currently because it was hotter for a longer time in the 30s and 40s than it was in the 90s. Were the oceans higher then than they are now? As to ocean acidity, it is the reduction in Co2 in the water from the oceans warming up that is making the oceans less alkaline than they were when they were colder and this release from warm waters of Co2 is why atmospheric levels are increasing. There is no cause for being alarmed as every type of animal that is supposed to be endangered survived an even warmer period only 70 years ago and several even hotter periods in the last 8,000 years some lasting up to 1,000 years.
