Economics explains the impacts of globalization to countries in the world. Global integration of economies has influenced the unity of different countries.

This article applies to economics in that global warming is causing climate change on earth. The change in climate is affecting economic activities such as agriculture. Many countries are dependent on agriculture and any negative impact on the climate will affect these activities. Reduction in agricultural production will affect the Gross Domestic Product of the countries which rely on agriculture as the main economic activity. Most developing countries rely on agriculture as the backbone of their economies. Decrease in agricultural production will reduce their exports and their balance of trade will greatly be affected.
Conclusion
Countries should adhere to the discussion carried out in Copenhagen since this will help alleviate the negative effects of global warming. Developing countries should diversify production in non agricultural economic activities so as to reduce the negative effects of over dependence on agriculture. The media ought to educate people on various aspects that are affecting the global community since many people are not aware about the activities in the international scene.
