Abstract
People have evolved ways of earning livelihoods and supplying their needs for food, water, shelter and other goods and services that are adapted to the climates of the areas in which they live. But the climate is ever variable and changeable, and deviations that are too far from the norm can be disruptive, even hazardous.
