To answer this question, we need to determine whether the statement is true or false based on the passage. 🕵️♀️
- The statement says that climate change affects only the physical environment and not human society. This means that climate change has no impact on human activities, well-being, rights, or relationships. 🤔
-
However, the passage clearly contradicts this statement. It mentions several ways that climate change affects human society, such as: 🌍
- threatening social and economic development, human rights, peace and security, and global cooperation (paragraph 3)
- causing human health problems, food insecurity, water scarcity, and biodiversity loss (paragraph 2)
- challenging us to rethink our values, lifestyles, and responsibilities towards ourselves, others, and the planet (paragraph 5)
Therefore, the statement is false, as climate change affects both the physical environment and human society. ❌
