ABSTRACT

Of the Earth’s population of 6,500,000,000, 4,000,000,000 are poor. According to the United Nations nearly 852,000,000 people around the world have had serious difficulties in obtaining adequate nourishment in 2005. While most of this Earth’s population suffers from the consequences of climate change, however the poor suffer the most, since they have greater difficulty in obtaining water and food, a problem which is increased by the shortage of water and other natural resources. The fundamental preoccupation of those who suffer social exclusion is subsistence. They cannot be concerned with the global situation. At the same time, the world’s population as a whole has a general disregard for climate change and its consequences.
