Reviews how climate, environment, population patterns, and resource distribution today are affected by the Earth’s radiation balance, water cycle, and atmospheric transport of heat and circulation. These in turn affect ecosystems, sustainability of resource use, particularly society’s consumption of food and resources. These themes are projected to explore a range of possible scenarios of what life might be like in 2090. Explores various scenarios that imply different implications for society. Encourages discussion among students with different points of view on concepts of the definition of “sustainable future.” This course is designed to broaden students’ global perspective on environmental issues and explore impacts that decisions today may have on the future.
