      The biggest climate change problem I think is when people aren’t able to live where they used to due to the effects of extreme weather. If the places we live get too hot or flooded and affected by storms they won’t be habitable any more. Extreme weather events due to climate change are already becoming more common which affect everyone and hurt the poorest people the most. Availability of fresh water and food is also becoming a problem.

      The worst thing for me is that those who are the least to blame for the problem will probably be the worst effected. Countries in Africa are already experiencing serious issues like droughts but have emitted very little CO2 emissions. Similarly a lot of small island nations in the pacific ocean will disappear but they live a very environmentally friendly life.

      The most helpless people are forced to leave their homes. It is unfortunate and concerning.
