Turnpenny, J.
Climate change - 2004 - Civil Engineering Surveyor February 2004, 22(1) .
Outlines some of the reasons for, and consequences of, climate change. Highlights the concentration of greenhouse gases'as a major problem. Suggests measures which may counter these effects, such as more energy-efficient building, avoiding building on flood plains and adaptation of foundation types to oppose subsidence. Table and graph.
