UCOR-3800 : Confronting Climate Change

This course will address the issue of global climate change. We will discuss the science behind how humans can affect the global climate--covering the major greenhouse gasses, how they impact the climate, and how the current and projected changes compare to previous climactic and atmospheric shifts. Students will dig into the science behind the 'climate controversies,' and explain the various lines of evidence for how we know the global shift is already underway.
