Global Warming Hurts Rural Communities Most 

By: Elspeth Dehnert and ClimateWire

There have new information about farmers and that they will have a difficult time dealing with climate change. (Dehnert). "A new report aims to put a human face on what it says are some of the communities hardest hit by global climate change, whose effects will be highlighted in the forthcoming Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) findings" (Dehnert 1). There were seven different stories that were documented on the impacts of climate change. These seven stories come from the countries, El Salvador, Bangladesh, Brazil, Kenya, Malawi, Bolivia and the Philippines. People think that by displaying these personal stories, it will show that there is an urgent need for decisive action on global climate policy. The one thing that people need to understand that we need to act now, we can't wait for something or somebody to be ready. Also, poor countries are being destroyed, which then forces them to adapt to all of these weather changes. Asia has been suffering from coastal flooding, sea-level rise, and storm surges. This causing so much economic loss. (Dehnert). In addition, because of the constant melting glaciers, water supply is completely changing. (Dehnert). "I was born here. I wmet away for a number of years because we have problems with our droughts, and landslides when the waters do come. We don't have enough water to grow our crops. (Dehnert).
