Rising heat too is acting in a way that makes a bad situation worse for the poor people of the world. First, the poor are finding it extremely difficult to buy food to survive, and then, to add insult to injury, they will be required to spend a lot of money to keep themselves cool. It has been learnt through media reports that rising temperatures in a warming world will cost poor countries tens of billions of dollars annually as they are less able to keep their workers cool. Over the next 30 years, manual labourers in the agriculture, mining, oil and gas, and manufacturing sectors - which are the most prevalent in emerging economies - will be hardest hit by higher temperatures.
The question is: Is there any solution in sight? Rising temperatures have already exacerbated an already problematic situation for the world's poor in a way that is humiliating.
