This six-part course aims to help students become better informed about the scope of the climate crisis and the science behind the issue. Each class will last about 90 minutes, with an opportunity for questions. Topics to be covered include: 

• An overview of climate concepts and issues 

• Greenhouse gases

• The role of fossil fuels in the crisis 

• Alternative energy sources

• Proposals for removing greenhouse gases from the atmosphere 

• Effects on wildlife and biodiversity 

• Sectors of the economy affecting the crisis 

• The politics and economics of the crisis. 

The last class is a discussion with Bill Young and ASNV board member Dr. Tom Wood to provide participants with suggestions for actions we can take to push back on the effects of climate change.

Bill Young is a writer who lives in Arlington. He is the co-creator (with Ashley Bradford) of the MPNature.com website, and he has taught numerous classes for ASNV.
