The module on Climate Change is starting
Atmospheric concentrations, extreme events, mitigation, adaptation, urgency, low carbon economy, carbon footprint, Al Gore, Kyoto, Durban, emission trading, clean development mechanism, … the list of concepts associated with climate change is long, we may even talk about God (watch short video)! It makes this global environmental issue both an exciting and complex topic of the IMSD, and the course will certainly benefit from the diversity of origins and backgrounds of the students.
The module is divided in two parts: a first one focussed on science, emissions and policies, by me, a second one on low carbon economy, by Marcos Lopez Brea.
To start with, here is an interesting website on climate change science:
http://www.skepticalscience.com/ “Scientific scepticism is healthy. Scientists should always challenge themselves to expand their knowledge and improve their understanding. So this website gets sceptical about global warming scepticism. Do their arguments have any scientific basis? What does the peer reviewed scientific literature say?”
To be continued soon!
