Climate change impacts us all. The media bombards us daily with the effects, policy, and financial aspects of this phenomenon. Few students and laypersons, however, understand completely the basic science of climate change. In this course, you will learn about the difference between climate change, the greenhouse effect, and global warming; the basic science of how our atmosphere formed, how it has changed through time, and how humans are impacting both weather and climate.
