Channel: UQx Denial101x Making Sense of Climate Science Denial
Date: 2016-08-15

Dana Nuccitelli explains the pattern of contemporary global warming where night warm faster than days and winter warms faster than summers. These patterns are evidence that greenhouse gases are responsible for global warming. 

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.
