Introduction to Climate Change

This presentation on climate change is divided into two parts: Part 1 explores Earth's climate system: Earth's energy balance, glacial and solar cycles, natural variability buy papers (e.g., Niño and Southern Oscillation), and how volcanoes may effect climate. Part 2 delves into anthropogenic climate change: how the atmospheric chemical composition is changing, impacts of climate change that have already been observed, and projections of possible future scenarios.
