This reading and discussion-based course will delve into the science of human-caused climate change due to the widespread combustion of fossil fuels for energy, heating, and transportation.  We will consider the evidence for and current expert assessment of the present-day and future consequences of Earth's changing climate, as well as the prospects for mitigation of and adaptation to these effects.
