Climate Change is certainly a topic of concern to our government and society as a whole. As engineering professionals, it will fall on us to help manage the impacts of climate change on society, specifically on the infrastructure that society relies upon. Having said this, you assignment is to provide a brief written report including the following:1. Name three potential negative impacts of climate change to the future reliability of infrastructure. Be sure to name specific impacts on specific types of infrastructure.2. For each of the impacts identified, identify a mitigation technique that can be employed.
Example: The purchase price of a natural gas-fired commercial boiler (capacity X) was $181,000 eight years ago. Another boiler of the same basic design, except with capacity 1.42X, is currently being considered for purchase. If it is purchased, some optional features presently costing $28,000 would be added for your application. If the cost index was 162 for this type of equipment when the capacity X boiler was purchased and is 221 now, and the applicable cost capacity factor is 0.8, what is your estimate of the purchase price for the new boiler?
