Join us for a six-evening course to become better informed about the scope of the climate crisis and the science behind the issue. Each class will last about 90 minutes, with an opportunity for questions. Topics to be covered include: 

• An overview of climate concepts and issues 

• Greenhouse gases

• The role of fossil fuels in the crisis 

• Alternative energy sources

• Proposals for removing greenhouse gases from the atmosphere 

• Effects on wildlife and biodiversity 

• Sectors of the economy affecting the crisis 

• The politics and economics of the crisis. 

The class on Thursday, October 5, will be a discussion with Bill Young and ASNV board member Dr. Tom Wood to provide participants with suggestions for actions we can take to push back on the effects of climate change. The October 5 class will be free and open to all, including people not enrolled in the course.
