The United Nations, under the auspices of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, has attempted to assess the scientific
understanding of how greenhouse-gas emissions will affect the climate, and thus people. The UN reports show that if we continue on our present path, burning fossil fuels at a faster and faster rate:
Climate will change, primarily getting warmer, and those changes will primarily hurt poor people in warm places, but the climate changes are primarily being caused by wealthier people in colder places
Explanation:
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) which was institute by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) conclude in its fifth assessment that climate change is something that is real and that the activities of man are the primary cause.
The changing climate would affect every country in the world but the impact would not be felt by everyone at the same rate. Changes will primarily hurt poor people in warm places
