How will anthropogenic factors change local weather systems? Where are the areas most vulnerable to a change in the weather which could significantly affect the ability of their human population to survive?

Any change in the climate system will affect different areas to different extents. Some places (particularly in poorer countries) rely on growing food locally and do not have the infractructure to deal with large weather fluctuations. We need to understand how changes in large atmospheric and oceanic systems affect weather on smaller scales in order to provide support to those communities and protect nearby wildlife habitat.
