Who truly suffers?
Kofi Annan Secretary General of the UN has put the world on notice when it comes too global warming. Annan has put the blame on a frightening lack of leadership. To top it off Annan has stated," the poorest people in the world, who do not even create much pollution, bear the brunt of global warming.
The impact of climate change will fall disproportionately on the world's poorest countries.
For example herders in Kenya's grassy plains, whose total pollution basically boils down to their cooking fires and the few cigarettes they smoke, are being displaced by frequent droughts.
the toll on poor countries from global warming has been so severe that officials at the UN feel that the world must accept global warming and figure out how to adapt to it.
"For them adaptation is a matter of sheer survival."
WOW
