Global climate change
How would you compose and explain this to a group of college students about the earth’s
climate system?I. The Earth’s Climate System a) What are some basic details of how the
earth’s climate system functions that your audience will need to know? b) What role do the
sun and orbital cycles play in controlling Earth’s climate?c) How is energy cycled through
the earth’s climate system? d) Discuss some of the possible causes of recent changes in
global temperature: energy consumption, greenhouse effect, and radiative forcing. II.
Climactic Impact From Atmospheric Energy and Geologic Events a) How is energy
transported horizontally in the atmosphere? b) What are the major features of ocean
circulation? How is energy exchanged between the atmosphere and oceans? What roles do
icecaps and glaciers play in the climate system? c) How do geologic events like volcanism
and tectonism affect the atmosphere and oceans? d) What processes drive short-period
climate oscillation?
