The United Nations, under the auspices of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, has attempted to assess the scientific understanding of how greenhouse-gas emissions will affect the climate, and thus people. The UN reports show that if we continue on our present path, burning fossil fuels at a faster and faster rate:

Climate will change, primarily getting warmer, and those changes will primarily hurt poor people in warm places, but the climate changes are primarily being caused by wealthier people in colder places

Explanation:

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) which was institute by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) conclude in its fifth assessment that climate change is something that is real and that the activities of man are the primary cause.

The changing climate would affect every country in the world but the impact would not be felt by everyone at the same rate. Changes will primarily hurt poor people in warm places

manifest functions are the recognized and intended consequences of any social pattern, while latent functions are those unrecognized and unintended consequences. to analyze the manifest functions of any social institution, we have to study its contribution to the continuation of a group, community, or society.
