Expect shipping delays as climate changes, report says
Photo: General Wesc/Flickr Transportation planners have not typically accounted for climate change in their long-term planning and project development. The longevity of transportation infrastructure, the long-term nature of climate change, and the potential impacts identified by recent studies warrant serious attention to climate change in planning new or rehabilitated transportation systems.

Whether you believe in global warming or not is at least somewhat irrelevant to the question of whether we should alter our collective MO with respect to energy. From a prudence standpoint, we should act as though it is real because if we are wrong and go our merry way, merry way will equal history's dustbin. From a geo-political standpoint, we should be very hesitant to transfer so much wealth to a narrow band of humanity and expect to be allowed to go our merry way by those holding the purse.... More

I'm 53, live in Eastern Canada and the climate has not changed significantly in my life. Weather cycles are so long no one really knows what's coming. The Academics who are spouting off about it are in a publish or perish world so they have to sound an alarm to get grants. It's just too bad we have to listen to them. The only sure thing is that there are too many humans and until we get that under control there will be lots of trouble.
