Global Warning Podcasts by Professor John Chiang
http://www.learnoutloud.com/Podcast-Directory/Science/Environment/Global-Warming-Podcast/21917
This lower division course introduces global warming as both a
scientific and social issue. We will introduce the physical
science that sets the stage for the problem, from the basic
concepts of climate (carbon cycle, greenhouse effect, climate
feedbacks) through to the climate model projections of future
climate changes and their impacts. Social scientific perspectives
will be integrated throughout, including the history of climate
science, the geographical and political-economic implications of
fossil fuels and industrial production, and the challenges posed
to existing regulatory and governance systems by the current and
prospective impacts of global warming. Several guest lecturers
will give in-depth reviews of specific topical issues, potential
examples being climate models, carbon sequestration, and impacts
on public health. We aim to provide students with a solid
understanding and information base with which to analyze and
evaluate ongoing developments and (often heated) debates
surrounding global climate change.
