Climate change: The science

Climate Change poses an increasing threat to the stability of Earth’s systems. If we want to protect our planet from dangerous and unprecedented change, first we must understand the science behind climate change.

On this course. students will explore the science-- looking back across 4 billion years of Earth’s history to help them learn the following areas:
1. difference between ‘natural’ from ‘human’ induced change;
2. looking to the present to see how the impacts of climate change are already being felt;
3. and finally looking to the future to see what it might hold for our planet.

The course is developed by the The University of Exeter, and can be accessed from the Furture Learn learning platform.
