Executive summary -- Adapting to the inevitable? -- The CO2 timeline --Future global changes -- Regional changes -- Adapting to the new world (engineering challenges) -- What needs to happen -- References
Considers what engineers need to do to adapt to the climate changes to occur during the next 1,000 years due to constant carbon dioxide emissions. Focuses in the areas of transport, energy, water and buildings. Recommends analysis of the practicality of settlements and infrastructure, more research and investment in renewable energy sources, development of carbon capture and storage technology, and finally international assistance.
