Module 1: What’s the problem?
Module 1.1: Climate trends
Module 1.1 begins with a video-lecture on climate trends where Denise and I explore some of the fundamental concepts of climate science and an overview of how climate change is impacting Canada.
By the end of this module, you will be able to identify and understand the core climate science science concepts, including the differences between adaptation and mitigation and how they overlap, the difference between weather and climate, and some of the current trends in what we are seeing, globally and regionally.
