The following give some idea about how our lives could be affected, and indeed fundamentally changed, as a result of climate change...

• Biodiversity and habitat loss 
• Increased frequency of heat waves
• We'll need to allow for increased summer cooling without using air conditioning units, eg using mechanical ventilation, heat recovery (MVHR) and reversible heat pumps 
• Water shortages
• Failure of local and global food supply chains – supermarket failure and local agriculture becomes increasingly challenging
• Increased local flooding
• Social care costs increase, with health and wellbeing impacts on both young and old people 
• Healthcare costs to the NHS increase exponentially and local hospitals and GP surgeries struggle to cope
• Maintenance costs to increase for highways and property due to extreme weather events
• Maintenance of energy and communications infrastructure becomes more costly, with potential for more frequent grid outages and internet disruptions
• Increased energy, water and insurance costs for Shropshire commercial and domestic properties
• Risk of financial collapse worse than 2008, and global financial instability increasingly likely, with local impacts
• Impact of people migrating from inhospitable areas of the UK and globally to Shropshire
