Webinar Description (per NSPE):

This session will start with a brief overview of anthropogenic climate change (ACC) - the Greenhouse effect, definition of terms, breakdown of atmospheric greenhouse gases, verifiable data, and historic trends, followed by a review of recent events. Then we’ll look at some of the sociological and cultural underpinnings of the various perspectives of climate change, and how they influence perceptions of the problem. We’ll discuss actions at the global, national, and local levels that relate to climate change. Then we’ll begin to quantify the influence of various materials and activities and other sources of greenhouse gases.
