Hot and bothered – summer’s transportation meltdown

Last week's extreme heat wave wreaked havoc on transportation systems across the country, causing delays and breakdowns on trains, planes, and roads. This serves as a stark reminder that we need to prepare for such conditions as global warming brings more frequent and intense heatwaves. The disruptions highlight vulnerabilities in infrastructure that may not be equipped to handle extreme temperatures, emphasizing the urgent need for upgrades and resilience planning. This isn't just a one-time event; it's a glimpse into the transportation challenges we'll likely face more often in the future.
