A central finding of sociology is that unequal power dynamics shape patterns  
of social mobility and access to social, political, and economic resources. It is  
widely documented that the effects of global climate change will not be  
equally distributed around the world, and many of the countries least  
responsible for the rise in greenhouse gases will be most likely to feel its  
impacts in changes in weather, sea levels, human health costs, and  
economic hardships. These inequalities will be further exacerbated by the  
unequal burdens inflicted by climate and limited disaster response  
capacities. One important predicted outcome of climate change is human  
migration out of poorer regions and countries into more developed, less  
impacted areas this environmental migration has the potential to strain the  
resources and social fabrics of receiving societies and deplete the human  
capital in sending communities. Variations in individual, community, and  
national vulnerability to the impacts of climate change are only part of the  
structure of inequality in global climate change. As the 2007 IPCC report  
notes, there is an unequal distribution of impacts and vulnerabilities to  
climate change associated with social class and age in both developed and  
developing countries. Furthermore, there is inequality between women and  
men, adults and children, and present and future generations. The quest for  
prosperity drives the rapid economic growth of large countries like China and  
India without whose cooperation, global mitigation efforts will fail. The  
unequal impacts of climate change are coupled with inequalities of  
representation in global and national policy making arenas leaving global  
climate change policy efforts open to charges of bias. The majority of people  
did not expect that Elizabeth would one day reign over Britain when she was  
born, therefore they were caught off guard. Elizabeth, who was given the  
nickname Lilibet throughout her childhood, was able to enjoy the first ten  
years of her life with all of the perks of being a princess without having to  
worry about the pressures of being the heir apparent. Both her father and  
mother lived in two different residences during her childhood: one was in  
London, and the other was Royal Lodge, the family's property in Windsor  
Great Park. Elizabeth and her younger sister Margaret received their  
education from private tutors in the comfort of their own homes. Academic  
subjects such as French, mathematics, and history were taught alongside  
extracurricular activities such as singing, dance, and painting
