• ATSC 2100: Global Warming: The Science

  3.00 Credits

  University of Wyoming

  
  Introduces non-specialists to the fundamental scientific principles governing climate change. The underlying physics of both human and natural contributions to global warming is presented along with uncertainties in predicting climate. Potential strategies to mitigate global warming (alternative energy, carbon capture, and geoengineering) are also discussed.
