In this class, we will explore how science and the scientific process informs the development of our understanding of our climate and climate change. We’ll investigate the long-term patterns and variation in climates over Earth’s history and discuss what we can say about its future. At the end of the course, students will be able to evaluate and explain major climate drivers in the past, how past and future human activities are altering climate at local and global scales, the measurable impacts on our lives, and the pros and cons of actions we can take in response to climate change.
