PHSC 13400: Global Warming David Archer, Professor in Geophysical Sciences "Scope of the Class" September 30, 2009. This 10-week course for non-science majors focuses on a single problem: assessing the risk of human-caused climate change. The story ranges from physics to chemistry, biology, geology, fluid mechanics, and quantum mechanics, to economics and social sciences. The class will consider evidence from the distant past and projections into the distant future, keeping the human time scale of the next several centuries as the bottom line. The lectures follow a textbook, "Global Warming, Understanding the Forecast," written for the course.

I watched the lecture series. It was very annoying to hear Dr. Archer's speech impediment (vigorous stuttering and stammering) to the point where I wanted to abandon the attempt. Dr. Archer is a great writer, and his science is leading-edge and clear, but his inability to speak was painful to hear.

So helpful! I only wish I'd found this earlier in my PhD. It's perfect for social scientists coming at the issue with only a little science.

Excellent: thank you. I am going to watch the entire series.

also, it seems like there is only audio in the left channel?

Thank you so much for posting this on YouTube, found it twince in less accessible formats on the web before, but it sure is sad that you havent made it available in higher resolution. Even the large lettered Global Warming that is on the board in the beginning is difficult to read

An excellent resource for a grounding in the science of climate change. If you think the climate is changing but don't understand how, this is a great introduction.
Highly recommended.

@belsha, I'm don't think failing to read a biblio and writing like an idiot in general reflects well on the science denier movement.
