I will briefly explain the science behind climate change, covering the carbon cycle, ocean currents, atmospheric wind patterns, and the greenhouse effect. Then we will determine our individual carbon footprints and discuss the myriad ways in which they can be reduced. The class will be a mix of lecture and discussion, so bring you climate questions and concerns. There is no text required, but I highly recommend “How Bad Are Bananas? The Carbon Footprint of Everything” by Mike Berners-Lee. Please send me a brief introduction, which I will share with the others before class starts. You might mention why you are taking the class and what you hope to learn.
