Historical climate change has had a profound effect on current biogeography, so we can expect our ongoing and rapid climate change, to have as great an effect. Climate change has important implications for nearly every aspect of life on Earth, and effects are already being felt.
A chain of effects start from simple weather up to life style, food, economic activities and social behavior etc.
There is an expectation of increased disease. A nice overview can be found in Patz et al., (2005) in the journal Nature. A resurgence, for example, is expected for malaria in the highlands of east Africa (Hay et al., 2002; Nature).
Well, the basic components for the human survival are: Water, Air, Sun, etc. These components are also the fundamental variables of climate change. Hence, climate change has a direct effect on Human in both positive and negative way. However, Anthropogenic activities in the recent ages have also triggered the changes giving rise to adverse consequences on Human beings like diseases, unnatural growth, etc. I think, individual variables' case studies should be studied to make a general conclusion on climate change and its impact on human..

The temperature has increase and the winters are milder, but the humidity has increased dramatically. That has brought breathing problems to this part of the world. As you may know humidity affects our health and right now it has made life miserable.
Dear colleague, Mr. Michael thank you very much for your comments, done to me!
Dear Mr. Mariano Ruiz Espejo,
you upvoted for one of vital big problem of our life in our globe, the climate change, that will immediately affect on humans with high Impacts, given through the all of negative effects ... thanks a lot!
It depends on geographic location. Some areas will become more fertile, others will become less fertile, arid, or flooded.
Like, a counter example to warming, the "little ice age." It had devastating effect for some locations.
