In 12 episodes, this series covers the evidence and science behind our understanding of climate change. By the end of this course, learners will be able to:
*Understand the greenhouse effect and the role that greenhouse gas emissions play in climate change
*Identify the five major categories of greenhouse gas emissions/energy sources
*Describe existing decarbonization solutions and identify areas where future innovations are needed
*Explain the current and future impacts of climate change and how they affect different communities
*Describe the political, social, and economic forces that complicate the path to carbon neutrality
