Description
The rhetoric in the press about climate change can be confusing and contentious, but most scientists are in extraordinary agreement about its causes and general consequences. In this class we will explore the most recent published scientific research on the topic, including a non-technical overview of the many factors that regulate climate, evidence of current climate change, and predictions from models about future impacts of climate change, with an emphasis on the predicted impacts in the New England region.
