What’s REALLY Going On With Humans & Climate Change?

The built environment is the largest contributor to CO2 and other greenhouse gases from human sources. As such, the built environment offers the most logical opportunity in terms of reducing human-induced greenhouse gas emissions. Greenhouse gases, such as CO2, are forcing factors in the climate of the planet and so large changes in the concentrations of these gases can lead to changes in the planet's climate zones and weather patterns. The latest scientific studies reveal that greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere are increasing at a dramatic rate relative to baseline conditions and that the added greenhouse gases from human energy-generating sources may be the smoking gun.

However, linking this dramatic increase in greenhouse gases to observed changes in the climate of the Earth has been a much more difficult concept to prove conclusively. And between Al Gore's controversial movie, "An Inconvenient Truth" and scandals like 'Climate-gate', the public confusion over the issue is at an all time high. It doesn't help that the American political divide treats the issue with one extreme view or the other; ‘the sky is falling’ vs. ‘it’s no big deal’.

To better understand this issue from an apolitical point of view, C. R. Taylor Green Consulting offers a brief (3 hrs) overview course on the topic of human-induced climate change (i.e. global warming) including an understanding of the magnitude of the risks and of what actions can serve the issue most sufficiently. This overview course can be designed for young adults (high school/college) as well as seasoned professionals. From this course you will learn:

-what we know about global climate science
-to what degree greenhouse gases contribute to climate forcing
-to what degree human activities contribute to the observed increase in global greenhouse gas concentrations
-about the unresolved 'question marks' in climate science
-why thermometer readings are a misleading metric for global climate change
-why 'Global Warming' is a misnomer which causes public confusion
-why computer models provide limited information about the future
-about the common misleading 'facts' told by both political ends of the spectrum
-about real solutions that can reduce human contributions to greenhouse gas emissions
-that there is an issue here but that the sky is not falling

C. R. Taylor Green Consulting has the proper education and experience with global climate science to ensure that you leave this course with a better understanding of the real issues behind human-induced climate change.
