One problem in planning housing to cope with global warming is understanding how much the climate will change.
Roaf devotes part of her book to looking at the way the United States has refused to come on board with global warming.
Instead of planning sustainable housing, it satisfies pent-up demand with cheap, lightweight, easy-to-construct housing creating solid profits for the powerful construction industry.
