TL;DR: This article identified key aspects of water supply and use that could be adversely affected by climate change and developed measures and criteria useful for assessing the vulnerability of regional water resources and water dependent resources to climate change, developed a regional database of water sensitive variables consistent with the vulnerability measures, and applied the criteria in a regional study of the vulnerability.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the impacts of climate change on road, bridge, coastal properties, and urban drainage infrastructure and investigated sensitivity to varying greenhouse gas emission scenarios, climate sensitivities, and global climate models.

TL;DR: This analysis is the first to project these deaths at a near national scale for the United States using city and month-specific temperature-mortality relationships, and found increasing future premature deaths across the 209 modeled U.S. cities.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply city-specific mortality relationships for extremely hot and cold temperatures for 33 metropolitan statistical areas in the United States to develop mortality projections for historical and potential future climates, highlighting a potential change in health risks from uncontrolled climate change and the potential benefits of a greenhouse gas mitigation policy.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors assessed the potential impacts of increased river flooding from climate change on bridges in the continental United States and found that tens of thousands to more than 100,000 bridges could be vulnerable to increased river flows.
