Current changes are distinctly more rapid and not due to natural causes. They are caused by the emission of greenhouse gases, mostly carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane. Burning fossil fuels for energy use creates most of these emissions. Certain agricultural practices, industrial processes, and forest loss are additional sources. Greenhouse gases are transparent to sunlight, allowing it through to heat the Earth's surface. When the Earth emits that heat as infrared radiation the gases absorb it, trapping the heat near the Earth's surface.

The ongoing civil war involves the government, rebel forces, various domestic groups, foreign countries and ISIS. It started as part of the wider Arab Spring protests in 2011, escalating each year with humanitarian atrocities, country-wide devastation and millions of civilian deaths.

On a global scale, the focus tends to be in terms of the distribution of wealth. According to a Global Wealth Report, 44 percent of global net worth is held by only 0.7 percent of adults. This suggests that there is a significant division between economic classes around the world. Recently, research has shown the effects that this economic divide has on communities particularly in health, social relationships, development and stability. For example, in a society where there’s a large gap between the rich and the poor, life expectancy tends to be shorter and mental illness and obesity rates are 2 to 4 times higher. In terms of social relationships, this on a larger level introduces more violence and crime.

Even before fighting broke out in early 2015, this country was one of the poorest countries in the Arab world. Now, nearly a decade of war has left thousands dead and more than 4 million people displaced. Fighting between government coalition forces and Houthi rebels in the country continues to harm and displace families.
The conflict’s impact on the country’s infrastructure has been devastating, with major overland routes and airports severely damaged. A blockade on the coast has limited the amount of humanitarian aid entering the port. 16.2 million are food insecure — and malnutrition rates among women and children remain among the highest in the world.
Yemen
This is a global issue that exists in all shapes and sizes. It can be done towards a particular group like women or LGBTQ+ members, or it is an act that can be a result of a mentally disturbed mind.
