Global Climate Change ((4 Credits))

Catalog description

There is little doubt that the Earth's climate is changing due to the influence of human activities. In this course, students will explore the evidence that climate change is occurring, how human activities have affected this process, the primary forces influencing the Earth's climates, and what steps can be taken to adapt to or mitigate these changes. This course requires students to examine, critique, and analyze global climate change using the scientific method and disciplinary approaches from social, political, and economic studies. They will also research climate solutions requiring analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. This course was previously SMT-272114 Global Climate Change.
