This is a collection of recorded lectures that serve as a 1 – 3  hour  introduction to climate change science.

This material has evolved from several years of doing one or two guest lectures in classes at the University of Michigan in many disciplines. The students are usually climate interested, and they want a summary lecture or two. They want to understand the foundation of the science and feel confident that it is actionable.

The intent is that the audience listens to this material prior to any class, and the class focuses on clarification and discussion. In class, I usually include some material to steer towards the discipline of the class in which the lecture is given.

The lectures are in different states of production, and updated occasionally.

It is generally more reliable to download the lectures than to listen to them in preview.
