ENV 3260 - Global Climate Change
Credit(s): 3
This course will focus on the scientific principles underpinning climate change and the differences between natural climate change/climate variability and human-induced (anthropogenic) climate change. It will explore what processes/factors have led to climate change in the geological past and how these have shaped the world as we experience it today. Discussion of traditional fossil fuel energy resources as agents of climate change and the value of alternative energy strategies will be explored. The course will also examine the social, economic and political factors that are being and have been used to frame our current understanding of this issue, especially with regard to how we mitigate its impacts.
