On Monday, humanitarian organization Oxfam released a report that detailed the devastation climate change has had on people who depend on their harvests to survive. As weather patterns become more irregular and extreme, farmers are more impoverished as their harvests fail, with hunger ever more imminent.

Oxfam warns that without intervention, the past 50 years of work to end poverty could be reversed. Calling for commitments in the upcoming United Nations climate talks, Oxfam spokeswoman Julianne Richards said: “Without urgent action to reduce our emissions, climate-related hunger could be the defining human tragedy of this century.”

Oxfam, we appreciate this timely reminder of the pressing issue of global warming that is affecting all aspects of human survival. Blessed be all efforts to assist those in need as we strive for meaningful changes that ensure a sustainable future for all in our world.
