| 摘要： | A steady barrage of studies and news reports about global warming has ensured that virtually all transportation planners realize that the transportation sector of the U.S. economy is an important cause of increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases. Less attention has been paid, however, to the effects of global warming on transportation - and virtually no attention has been paid to the ways by which our transportation infrastructure may impair our ability to adapt to the consequences of global warming. This paper is part of a DOT process to motivate adaptation to climate change in the U.S. transportation sector. In this paper, the implications that seem important enough to think about, both as a first step toward a comprehensive assessment of how the transportation sector can adapt to sea level rise, and hopefully, to motivate some decision makers to recognize those cases where they need not await such an assessment before beginning to take appropriate measures are presented. |
