This free online course examines (1) the factors responsible for climate change; (2) the biological and sociological consequences of such changes; and (3) the possible engineering, economic, and legal solutions to avoid more extreme perturbations. It includes a free multi-media textbook, introductory videos, course tools, weekly themes, daily mini-lectures, weekly assignments, and exams.

A  free online course developed for NCSE's NSF-funded Climate Adaptation and Mitigation E-Learning (CAMEL) project. The approach on this course is a great model for online education - short 12 min segments because that is all the attention span that students have, interactive activities, including short quizzes, great graphics and humor.
