UK based here, well insulated thousands of miles away from the frontiers of climate change civilisation impacts but even so…

1. https://www.thegrocer.co.uk/sourcing/shortage-of-uk-grown-oi...

2. People relocating from land which has failed to sustain a crop in another country

3. Increased frequency of flooding events reaching non-floodplain areas over the past 30 years https://www.jbatrust.org/how-we-help/publications-resources/...

4. A change in which crops are sustainable - farmers do need to adjust as climate changes, but it’s quite hard in practice because the surrounding industry in a given area expects particular crops, it’s economically not viable to step outside the norms in response to weather - chicken and egg situation really

5. Increased mortality, old or young are sensitive to temperature swings, the hottest 10 years on record have happened in the past 20 years in the uk. Deaths go up during heatwaves among the elderly and the young

Thank you for answering. I don't think that stuff amounts to a crisis. I might say that, at most, it amounts to challenges that we're better able to face than at any previous time.
