How do we plan for climate change? Unfortunately, many groups don't even ask that question, much less begin to answer it.
I'm happy to report that there are exceptions. Yesterday, I testified before the New York City Council's Infrastructure Task Force, which held a forum on how climate change and flooding will affect the city's infrastructure. It was an interesting experience. I left feeling cautiously optimistic that the city really is trying to tackle the problem.
