Abstract
Weather affects almost all modes of transportation in a modern society, and likewise, transportation has an enormous impact on the weather. Transportation greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) impact climate change, which impacts transportation in return. Reduction of transportation impacts on climate change can mitigate the reverse climate change impacts on transportation. This paper examines the relationship between transportation and climate change and establishes prospective solutions to reduce transportation greenhouse gas emission impacts on climate change and mitigate the reverse climate change impacts on transportation.
Highlights
Transportation infrastructure is planned, constructed, maintained, and functions according to local weather and climate conditions
Transportation is vital to the global economy; it is a major source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
The scientific community agrees that an increase in atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases is directly correlated to the gradual rise in global temperatures, resulting in a wide array of related climatic disturbances including heat waves, droughts and floods
Summary
Transportation infrastructure is planned, constructed, maintained, and functions according to local weather and climate conditions. Transportation is vital to the global economy; it is a major source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The scientific community agrees that an increase in atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases is directly correlated to the gradual rise in global temperatures, resulting in a wide array of related climatic disturbances including heat waves, droughts and floods. Climate change is expected to further intensify tropical storms and cause more frequent outbreaks of violent
