Predicting Climate Change - Fall 2013 OLLI Class, Lewes, DE

Course Description:

It is widely agreed that climate change is happening, but there is not much consensus among predictions, at what rate climate change will occur, and what will be all the effects of climate change. This workshop style class will explore current climate change predictions, and discuss what is predicted to happen in Delaware, as well as in the rest of the world.

Often cited effects of climate change are rising sea levels, increased storm intensity, shifting rainfall patterns, loss of arable land, ocean acidification, displacement of people and wildlife, extinction of plant and animal species, etc. Participants will be encouraged to present their ideas and findings to the rest of the class. We will have on-screen internet access to facilitate presentations.

Class dates and times to be announced
