It will discuss the basics of climate science and the phenomenon of climate change, before elaborating on two key concepts relevant for climate change responses: mitigation and adaptation. This material will be used to better understand how these concepts are applied in an urban context.
Global average temperature was 0.98°C (1.76 °F) higher in 2020 than in the late 1800s.15. The warmest year on record since records began in 1880 was 2016, with 2020 ranking second. In 2020 global average land temperatures experienced a record high, while 2016 global ocean temperatures remain the highest on record.
To understand climate change, it is crucial to use a scientific definition of climate, understand the difference between weather and climate, and study changes in the state of the climate that persist for an extended period. It is also important to understand how the natural factors such as latitude, altitude, reflectivity of
Climate change science seeks to understand the physical, chemical, biological and geological processes, and the interactions among these processes, that produce climate. The scales of interest range from local to global and from weeks or months to millions of years. Changes in climate, both temporally and spatially,
Lecture Notes. This section provides the schedule of lecture topics and instructors along with lecture notes for select sessions.
“This timely, informative, and well-written book does an excellent job of explaining, in language accessible to everyone, the scientiûc basis for our current understanding of global warming and climate change, as well as societal implications and the political barriers to sound, rational policy.
Global observational datasets of LGM land and sea surface conditions have been synthesized and present some interesting challenges both for providing another scenario for understanding climate change and for climate sensitivity.
