Global Climate Changes

Climatic changes caused by global warming have already started affecting populations across the world in different ways that nobody ever thought would. The increase in temperature has both positive and negative effects across different regions, where increase in temperatures could be an advantage in some areas while it poses a threat in other areas. Consequently, solutions to solve the effects have brought along other disasters such as diseases. Additionally, the impact has diverted goals of most countries from concentrating on developing, to seeking solutions to unending problems. In most cases, the poor or most of the populations with scarce resources suffer the greatest effects for which they are not the contributors. Climate change has changed many social issues across the whole globe bringing with it conflicts, although, in an effort to provide solutions, nations have come together in solidarity.

Climatic changes especially ones caused by global warming are causing several conflicts mostly in the developing nations where migration is changing. People within developing nations do not have the means and resources of adapting to the changing global climate. Most have to migrate to other areas where there is less impact from climatic changes (Reuveny, 2005). Conflict theory suggests that people’s behavior within social contexts is bound to result from conflicts between groups competing for the same resources. In developing areas, conflicts are likely to arise out of conflicts over scarce resources including food and means of adapting to climate change. This has seen many social changes within such countries where people have to seek out all possible means of solving their problems. On the other hand, global warming is affecting ...

... effects on many populations across the world, causing implementation of desperate measures. However, majority of the impact is felt in the poorer nations that lack means and resources to adapt to the changes. In such areas, conflict over resources is heightened with individuals seeking better means of survival. Majority of the climatic changes are within agriculture and changing weather conditions that (DeWeerdt, 2007) are affecting migration in adversely affected areas. Many nations have had to change their goals in order to focus on solving problems caused by climatic changes such as draught and famine. The need for solving the problem has brought nations across the world together with a similar goal, thereby enhancing solidarity. However, the interdependence has seen the developing nations rely heavily on the developed nations in many areas including ideologies.
