correlates with civil war and insurgency (p. 45). Another used rainfall variability to explore the marginal influence of small-scale conflict in Kenya (Raleigh and Kniveton 2012).

Agricultural demands of water are considerably more sensitive to climate change, particularly for irrigation. Irrigation has revolutionized rice production in Bangladesh. Climate change may alter climatic…

changes in temperatures and rain that affect the agriculture. But the effect of the increase or decrease in temperature and rainfall in the agriculture depend on the region or location. The location dictates the soil fertility, therefore the extreme weather such as the heat waves, droughts, strong winds and heavy rains affecting the crop growth varies by region. Droughts in the Great Plains will stress the agriculture by the increase in temperature, less groundwater and flooding. In the…

now. Also, many individuals ignore the fact that pollution is a major problem. “For starters, we need our lawmakers to quit ignoring climate change and start limiting carbon pollution that is heating our planet and increasing the intensity of extreme weather” (N.R.D.C Health).
