"The most recent international report on climate change paints a picture of disruption to society unless there are drastic and rapid cuts in greenhouse gas emissions.
"Although it's early days, some cities and municipalities are
starting to recognize that past conditions can no longer serve as
reasonable proxies for the future.
"This is particularly true for the country's infrastructure.
Highways, water treatment facilities and the power grid are at
increasing risk to extreme weather events and other effects of a
changing climate.”
A recent FutureStructure article reported on efforts being
made to address infrastructure issues in anticipation of rising sea
levels resulting from climate change.
