UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO
Global climate change is one of the key issues of our time. Warming, droughts, flooding, sea level rise, and ocean acidification are happening now and are expected to continue in the future. Such changes will affect human and natural systems in myriad ways.

In this class, we will learn about the science behind climate change, projections about future climate change, its impacts to humans and natural systems, and options to adapt to and mitigate future climate change. The focus is on the physical science of climate change, but you will be introduced to biological and societal topics as well. You will understand and become comfortable communicating to others why climate change is happening, what future climate is expected, and what we as a society can do about it.
