Didn't read the article, but I don't really need to. The logic is obvious in the title. Of course poverty will increase - farmers will see their crops decreasing due to changes in growing periods. Many of the world's poor must farm their own food to eat and/or sell. Crop size decrease means less food on the table or less money to put food on the table. Equals more poverty and more poverty related death.

Sorry, I had misread you, especially as climate change is already affecting many poor populations who live by the sea or the ocean. I apologize. :)

sure. if the climate wipes out entire areas or villages, cities, towns, there's going to be lots of poverty.

climate change and poverty are two different things. Of course, climate change is caused by human activity, but it doesn't closely related to poverty.

Which goes to show that a lot of people are in denial or are not prepared to make the necessary sacrifices and changes in their lifestyles to ensure the survival of their children and future generations, because they are totally selfish.
