How is climate change affecting indigenous groups?
Indigenous groups live in rural areas where they must go into the ecosystems to gather what they need. Compared to where we live everything can be bought at a grocery store, but the tribes live and survive in an old fashion way. They hunt animals for food, and grow their plants themselves. The climate change is affecting their crops and not allowing them to grow. This means that their source of food, and medicine is being put into jeopardy.
But, the only tribe that would benefit form climate change would be the Inuit. Since the environment is so cold they have frozen soil which makes it difficult for them to grow crops. But, if the weather was warmer then more crops would be grown.
