Frontiers of Science: Climate & Us
About this course
The Earth’s temperature is determined by a balance between incoming energy and outgoing energy, which is affected by many factors, including sunspots, astronomical cycles, and greenhouse gasses. In this course, we compare recent climate conditions with a vast historical record that goes back thousands, even millions, of years. We also investigate the role of feedback loops and why they make climate modeling particularly challenging.
