SCI 202H - GLOBAL WARMING


Credits: Four
Prerequisite: Membership in Bascom Honors Program
This seminar uses Global Climate Change as a modern case study to explore the interconnections between science and politics. Scientists worldwide agree global climate change is underway at unprecedented rates, most likely because of relatively recent human influences on Earths atmosphere. What is the science behind global warming? Historically, how did scientists arrive at a consensus that human causes were creating climate change? What global trends are underway already, which are still predicted, and what are the implications for our future?
