Question

Answer 1

ANS

If there is a strong evidence of the human induced global climate change then some of the places might suffer through extreme climatic changes and due to which the people in these territories which are going through the changes may have to change their location for the survival and this will impact the world community drastically as when there will be mass infiltration into the favorable places then at those places the prices of food and accomodation will increase due to sudden increase in demand which is caused by the additional population because of infiltration and it may also cause the increase in poverty as these people will have no employment as there are limited amount of resources and the level of living will fall in a drastic manner, the health care system would also fall down because people would get sick more often.

There will also be a situation of unrest as the people will expatriate to a new location for the favorable atmosphere and due to which the social unrest may develop between the people, the change in lifestyle may also cause problems for the people as the people will have issues while adjusting with the new population. The death rate will also rise globally as the resources in the favourable regions are limited and if there will be increase in infiltration then these resources will not be distributed equally to the people and it will also happen with the essential items and if these items will not reach the needy consumer then there will be increase in death rate.
