When we talk about climate change, we talk about rising sea levels, or changing weather patterns causing drought, or more air conditioning, but here's one I hadn't thought too much about: How about the fact that our infrastructure is based on a number of products that have been engineered to work in a fairly narrow temperature band. Like asphalt.
