TTC Energy and Climate - Science for Citizens in the Age of Glob

Energy and Climate: Science for Citizens in the Age of Global Warming- (10 lectures, 45 minutes/lecture) Course No. 154 Taught by Richard Wolfson Middlebury College Ph.D., Dartmouth College Is global warming actually happening? Could it really threaten civilization? How much money are we willing to spend on alternate fuels? Should we use technologies that involve other risks (like nuclear power)? Professor and physicist Richard Wolfson's course will allow you to form answers to those questions—answers that are grounded in scientific facts. You do not need a background in science to understand these issues as he presents them. Using simple diagrams and graphics, Professor Wolfson makes his subject both lively and accessible as he explains how the Earth's climate regulates temperature, how human activity can unbalance this system, how scientists predict the extent and impact of global warming, and what we can do about it. This course examines human energy use and global warming and offers a basic literacy in the science of climate. Course Lecture Titles - Keeping Warm - A Tale of Three Planets - Climates Past, Climates Future - Computing the Climate - Energy—Cheap and Plentiful - Energy—What It Does, Where It's From - Fossil Fuels - Nuclear Options - Renewable Energy - Energy Efficiency—More from Less
