Climate Change is just one part of Global Change.
Any change in our climate permeates our entire ecosystem. These changes will also bring social and economic changes to our modern society.
How we respond is up to us.
In this course, we look at what goes into the science of climate science. A better understanding of the science will ultimately lead to better decision making, no matter what our field of expertise.
We uncover the principles behind our climate system, climates of the past, and the models that help us understand our current trends.
