Climate Impacts on Society, What is real to you, ask!
As I say a lot nature doesn't care otherwise ask why did you put yourself in that position in the first place? There is a future coming if you are in the world of fake news do you know what is real? Not knowing puts you in a lack of reality, illness! Not such a good thing willing to die among the fools in the heat seems as it is, low self-esteem? Just the light to not bring brought up!
~~~~Ability to Cope
Different groups have different abilities to cope with climate change impacts.
People who live in poverty may have a difficult time coping with changes. These people have limited financial resources to cope with heat, relocate or evacuate, or respond to increases in the cost of food.
Older adults may be among the least able to cope with impacts of climate change.

Older residents make up a larger share of the population in warmer areas of the United States. These areas will likely experience higher temperatures, tropical storms, or extended droughts in the future.
The share of the U.S. population composed of adults over age 65 is also projected to grow from 13% in 2010 to 20% by 2050.
Young children are another sensitive age group, since their immune system and other bodily systems are still developing and they rely on others to care for them in disaster situations.
