Introduction to How Global Warming Works

Global warming is a significant increase in the Earth’s climatic temperature over a relatively short period of time as a result of the activities of humans. It is not unusual to hear someone complaining about a hot day or a freak storm and remark, “It’s global warming.” Well, is it? What is global warming?

There are numerous online resources on global warming. And we’ll learn what global warming is, what causes it, what its current effects are and what the future effects could be in the following weeks. Prior to that, you are required to build up and enhance your basic knowledge on the issue. I have provided a list of useful websites for your independent reading and research prior the class.
