Thanks to the Republican party we all know climate change is liberal hoax, but the World Bank is taking the threat very seriously.
According to a new report from the World Bank, climate change could push more than 100 million additional people into "extreme poverty" over just the next 15 years unless we take significant steps to prepare for what's to come.
From the Associated Press:
Released just weeks ahead of a U.N. climate summit in Paris, the report highlighted how the impact of global warming is borne unevenly, with the world's poor woefully unprepared to deal with climate shocks such as rising seas or severe droughts. [...]
"Absent such good development, climate change could result in an additional 100 million people living in extreme poverty by 2030," the report said. Stephane Hallegatte, one of the authors, told The Associated Press that one of the unique features of the report was that instead of analyzing the macro-economic impact of climate change it was based in part on surveys of 1.4 million people in 92 countries.
I don't believe the Republican party would change its mind on climate change even if an entire nation disappeared tomorrow so I certainly don't expect them to care about a report on global poverty. The GOP can't even be moved to alleviate poverty right here at home.
