DW: "Why is Germany building roads for yesterday's climate?" "As the Autobahn buckles under heat waves, Germany is still paving roads for a past climate." "Multi-day European heat waves with temperatures topping 40ºC (104ºF) are increasingly leaving a mark on Germany's famed Autobahn—buckling concrete slabs, deforming asphalt + forcing temporary speed limits." "By 2030, some 245 kilometers (152 miles) of roads in the Japanese capital are to be fitted with them." "Even as average temperatures keep rising, the challenge remains that the road surface also has to stay stable in freezing winter conditions."
