The global heating up The global heating up is the phenomenon of rising surface temperatures of the earth. In this course a basic understanding for it the underlying factors is to be acquired. How does the climatic system function? Which influence do greenhouse gases have? How do humans strengthen the climatic change? On which consequences do we have to count in the coming years and decades? And which it is to to that always reads but rarely scientifically correct statements of the Klimaskeptiker in such a way specified that the entire climatic change is only one invention of money-greedy scientists? [ work on ] procedure The course treats first the climatic system, in order to give an idea of fundamental functions of the climate. In the second part with the greenhouse gases and other elements the most important factors are called, which exerted influence on the climate in the past decades. The third part looks on the consequences: Will it become how warm? Which risks are connected with it? And how probably are "climatic disasters" real? In the fourth part we come on the counter measures to speak, which can be divided traditionally into two ranges: The avoidance of further climatic change (Mitigation), and the adjustment to the probably occurring heating up (adaptation). The discussion actually forms the fifth and last part over the climatic research and their rezeption in the public. How do climatic models, which they can carry out, function - and which not? With which uncertainties are the computations and prognoses actually afflicted? And which is to at the climatic critics, who are further common particularly in the InterNet, thus the climate well do can. [ work on ] extent and level The extent amounts to after provisional conditions twelve exercises. For each exercise approximately a cosy week is intended as frameworks, so that the entire course takes three months up, if it is straight-lined accomplished. Naturally also every other organization is possible, that is one of the advantages of an on-line university. The level is aligned to amateurs as well as interested and educated laymen. Who reads there now and then newspaper and to the knowledge takes the partly contradicting statements about the global heating up and asks themselves, what now is correct, should have no problems in the course successfully to participate.
