Channel: UQx Denial101x Making Sense of Climate Science Denial
Date: 2015-05-19

Robert Way examines the Medieval Warm Period and how it compares to today's temperatures. About Denial101x...

Climate change is real, so why the controversy and debate? Learn to make sense of the science and to respond to climate change denial in Denial101x, a massive open online course (MOOC) from UQx and edX. Denial101x isn’t just a MOOC about climate change; it’s a MOOC about how people think about climate change.

Comments on our channel are turned off. To discuss our videos, enrol at http://edx.org/understanding-climate-denial and join us in the edX discussion forum.
