Human-induced climate change -- popularly known as "global warming" -- is emerging as one of the great challenges facing society in the 21st century. If we ignore the problem, by the end of this century the climate changes due to increased greenhouse gases will be large enough to have significant consequences on the environment and on civilization. To avoid these changes will require either (i) a wholesale change in the sources of energy used by humans, (ii) yet to be developed (economical) methods to sequester carbon on an unprecedented scale, or (iii) intentional human modification of the earth's energy budget to partially cancel the warming that will result from the increase in greenhouse gases due to human activity (so-called geoengineering solutions to global warming). At stake are deeply-held values as well as entrenched economic interests. When these are combined with scientific uncertainty, it is not surprising that global warming has sparked a raging, often passionate debate.
The primary goal of this course is to understand the basic science of global warming and its consequences to date. We will then examine how the climate is projected to change over the present century due to further human activity, and some of the impacts these changes will have on ecosystems and people, especially on the global water and food supplies. We will also examine stronger claims made by advocates on both sides -- "skeptics" and "alarmists," as they are sometimes called.
The first half of the class will primarily consist of lectures on the science, with some student-led discussions. The lectures will encompass a summary of the basic science, the scientific consensus on global warming, and highlight the major sources of uncertainty in the projections of future climate. The second half of the class will examine the impacts of global warming on food production, water resources, ecology and biodiversity. We will also explore the options for avoiding future warming (mitigation) and what it will mean for global energy usage, economic development, and policy. This portion of the class will be an equal mix of lectures and discussion.
Please submit your critique of [[Battisti and Naylor (2009)|docs/battisti_naylor_2009.pdf]] to the [[drop-box|https://catalysttools.washington.edu/collectit/assignment/rnich/5011/16783]] by 8:00 am. We'll have a discussion of the paper during class on Thursday. See the [[Critique Guidelines]] for more details.
Please submit your critique of [[this Washington Post op-ed|http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/02/13/AR2009021302514.html]] and [[this Greenpeace video|http://www.greenpeace.org/usa/campaigns/global-warming-and-energy]] to the [[drop-box|https://catalysttools.washington.edu/collectit/assignment/rnich/5011/17017]] before midnight Tuesday. We'll have a discussion of both the op-ed and the video during the 2nd class hour on Wednesday 2/25.
Please submit your critique of [[The Great Global Warming Swindle|http://www.moviesfoundonline.com/great_global_warming_swindle.php]] to the [[drop-box|https://catalysttools.washington.edu/collectit/assignment/rnich/5011/17018]] before midnight Wednesday. The video, a "documentary" from the UK's Channel 4, runs about 1 hour 15 minutes, so make sure you allow yourself enough time to view it. We'll discuss the video in class on Thursday 2/26. See the [[Critique Guidelines]] for more details.
Please submit your critique of the [[Washington Climate Change Impacts Assessment Executive Summary|docs/WA_Climate_Change_Impacts_Assessment.executive_summary.Feb_2009.pdf]] to the [[drop-box|https://catalysttools.washington.edu/collectit/assignment/rnich/5011/17102]] before midnight on Sunday 3/1. We'll have a discussion of the paper during class on Monday. See the [[Critique Guidelines]] for more details.
Please submit your critique of the [[Tewksbury et al. (2008)|docs/Tewksbury_etal.Science.2008-06-06.pdf]] and [[Deutsch et al. (2008)|docs/Deutsch_etal.PNAS.2008-05-06.pdf]] to the [[drop-box|https://catalysttools.washington.edu/collectit/assignment/rnich/5011/17104]] before midnight on Tuesday 3/3.

We'll have a discussion of the paper during class on Wednesday. See the [[Critique Guidelines]] for more details.
In the second half of the course, we will be reading and discussing articles from general science journals (e.g. //Science// and //Nature//), newpaper articles, excerpts from various books, and a few videos.
To facilitate our discussion of these readings, you will provide a brief critique of each paper that will be assigned for discussion. The critique should include (i) a __brief__ statement of the salient point(s) of the papers, (ii) a discussion of potential problems/uncertainties with the arguments presented in the papers, (iii) a discussion of the ramifications/implications of the papers, and (iv) any important issues that remain confusing to you. Note that some of the readings will not inspire you to write about all four issues, (i)-(iv); that's okay.
Unless otherwise indicated, critiques should be a ''maximum of two double-spaced typed pages'' and must be submitted to the [[drop-box|https://catalysttools.washington.edu/collectit/dropbox/rnich/5011]] as a ''PDF file''. PDF export is built into the Mac OS X print dialog; on a Windows machine, you'll probably need to use a print-to-PDF utility like Adobe Acrobat (installed on some campus computers) or the free "PDF Creator" (http://www.pdfforge.org/). Please don't submit your critiques via email or in format other than PDF.

~PDFs of the [[course overview slides|slides/has221d_global_warming.course_overview_slides.2009-01-05.pdf]] and [[summary of global warming slides|slides/has221d_global_warming.lecture_slides.2009-01-05.pdf]] are now available.
See [[has221d_w09_syllabus.pdf|docs/has221d_w09_syllabus.pdf]] for a detailed syllabus. Note that the timeline contained in the syllabus is tentative and is almost certain to change as we progress through the material. For an updated timeline (we'll be revising it throughout the quarter), visit the [[schedule|Schedule]] page on this website.
On Saturday 3/7, you'll have the opportunity to present the work you've been doing toward your [[final paper|Final Paper due Wednesday 3/18 by 5:00 pm]] in a symposium held in the style of a research conference. Your talk should be ''7-10 minutes in length'' and will be followed by 5 minute question-and-answer period. If you have some visual content that you'd like to present, you're welcome to make use of one or more slides, but they are completely optional. Please submit any slides you'd like to present to the [[drop-box|https://catalysttools.washington.edu/collectit/assignment/rnich/5011/17105]] by before midnight on Friday 3/6 so TA Rob can organize and test them before the symposium starts the next morning.
The symposium will be held in the Honors ~Multi-Purpose Room (Mary Gates Hall) and begins at 9:30 AM. We'll have an hour-long lunch break, as well as morning and afternoon coffee breaks, and should finish by 4:30 pm. Please plan to be there the whole time.
UPDATE 3/7/2009: [[symposium program|docs/has_221d_symposium_program.pdf]]
Our two primary texts for the course will be:
* Robert Hansen, 2008: //The Rough Guide to Climate Change, 2nd edition// (~ISBN-13:978-1858281056).
* David Archer, 2006: //Global Warming: Understanding the Forecast//, (~ISBN-13:978-1405140393).
Both of these are available from the UW Bookstore. In addition to these texts, we will make considerable use of the [[Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intergovernmental_Panel_on_Climate_Change]] Fourth Assessment Report (a.k.a. "[[IPCC AR4]]" or just "~AR4"), all 3000 pages of which is freely available online. Additional shorter readings will be assigned throughout the quarter.
If you still have questions about interpreting the questions or the math involved, I'll have office hours Tuesday 2/3 from 9:30-10:30 am in [[ATG|http://www.washington.edu/home/maps/?ATG]] 722. You will almost certainly find it helpful to consult the solution set to the previous homework assignment (sent out in a recent email message) as you write up your answers to these questions.
The assignment is here: [[has221d_w09.problem_set_3.pdf|docs/has221d_w09.problem_set_3.pdf]]
Please submit an updated title and abstract for your [[final paper|Final Paper due Wednesday 3/18 by 5:00 pm]] using [[this WebQ form|https://catalysttools.washington.edu/webq/survey/rnich/70614]] by noon on Friday 3/6. We'll use this for the [[symposium|Symposium: Saturday 3/7, 9:30 am—4:30 pm]] program and to check in on your progress with the project.
Links to lecture slides can now be found on the [[schedule|Schedule]] page, which will be continually revised throughout the quarter.
