University of Bergen: Causes of Climate Change

Climate Change is real. Lots of humans are in a denial, and dream on. Dreams do not help to avoid the worst scenarios that will take place if we don't change the climate-change-nourishing bad habits. Insight in the problems helps to accept the reality, to battle the lies, the denial.

Free online course, offered by FutureLearn, and professors of the University of Bergen, Norway : Causes of Climate Change

www.futurelearn.com/courses/causes-of-climate-change

 

This free online course provides the basis for understanding the underlying physical processes governing climate variations in the past, present and future.

 

In the course, the professors focus on explaining the main external forcing mechanisms such as the sun, volcanoes, and changes in greenhouse gasses and aerosols, which can contribute to changing the global energy budget and initiate climate variations.

 

Also is described the important role of internal feedback mechanisms and the energy transport in the atmosphere and ocean, in order to understand regional variations in climate.

 

Through this course, you will gain an in-depth understanding of the complexities of the climate system, and be able to put the recently observed, man-made changes in climate in the context of past natural changes.

 

You will learn with experts from The University of Bergen, which has a strong focus on Earth and Marine Sciences. It hosts the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research, the largest centre for natural science-based climate research in Scandinavia.
