The consequences of climate change include rising sea levels, drought, and extreme weather events. Do you think affluent countries should be responsible for helping poorer, less developed countries bear the financial burden of these consequences? Substantiate your answer B) Some people are not convinced that human-induced global climate change is a real phenomenon. Using your knowledge of the scientific process and the information from this chapter, develop arguments you could use to explain the scientific basis for saying that global climate change is truly occurring and that people are responsible for it.
