ABSTRACT
There has been a great deal of debate about how the climate is changing the face of the world and how it is affecting populations. An even greater debate is the possible and probable sources of those changes. This chapter seeks to identify, define, and provide insight with respect to the protection of critical infrastructures, as opposed to debating the possible causes (or non-causes) of conditions experienced thus far. The nature of critical infrastructure protection (CIP) requires that a more critical eye be applied to all factors that can have a significant impact on it. Thus, we will look at the issue of climate change not from an advocacy point of view, but rather from a more technical point of view.
