1. Presume you were born into a developing country. Your community’s health and prosperity are threatened by climate changes caused by anthropogenic CO2 emissions generated primarily by developed countries. This situation is so extreme that people in your community do not name their children until they live past 5 years old, since many die before that age. If you had a chance to talk to an engineer in a developed country, what would you say?
Within the next 5 years, what is one of the next big civil engineering challenges or projects in the United States?
