Answer:
I hope you can understand this
Explanation:
Changes in climate and climate variability , particularly changes in weather extremes, affect the environment that provides us with clean air, food, water, shelter, and security. Climate change , together with other natural and human-made health stressors, threatens human health and well-being in numerous ways.
Answer:
There are many ways to think about this question. Some theories of society adopt a 'climatic determinist' position and attempt to explain phenomena such as the rate of suicide on climate. If that is what we mean by 'the influence of climate on human activities' there is reason to argue that the influence is minimal. Environmental explanations just don't work as well as social explanations when making sense of 'social facts' - a point made by Émile Durkheim in relation to suicide:
The relation is not readily discernible between temperate climate and the tendency to suicide; to require such a hypothesis the facts must be unusual agreement. Now, far from there being a relation between suicide and a given climate, we know suicide to have flourished in all climates. We must therefore seek the cause of the unequal inclination of peoples for suicide, not in the mysterious effects of climate but in the nature of this civilisation, in the manner of its distribution among the different countries
