I attached the pdf of a college class on climate change, for you. There's a section starting on page 25 that describes how climate and weather affect us. This chapter talks a lot about agriculture, and also about living in different places, and about how people will respond to bad storms and to climate change.

A very simple example that happened to me this morning was that it was quite windy, and my friend complained that her hair was wet, and the wind made her head cold.

Best wishes,
