As part of the trend in higher education toward moving more course offerings onto the Web, the University of Chicago has launched Open Climate 101, an online version of a popular course led by David Archer that explores for non-science majors the body of research pointing to a rising human influence on the climate system.
It’s built around Archer’s climate text, “Global Warming: Understanding the Forecast” (sample chapter). (I have a particular affection for that title.)
