Why Climate Change has more of an Effect in Africa than the Western World

In an articled titled "Why the Paris Climate Summit Matters to Africa", author Peter Guest discusses the ways in which climate change has affected Africa. According to Peter, climate change has been particularly grievous to African countries because they lack the economic power to act on the severe weather effects. While much of the Western world seems keep away from the effects of climate change, whole countries in Africa continue to dry up. Small communities and families are those first impacted. They are unable to grow crops, to keep livestock, or have water to drink and bathe in.
