| Description | This unit presents a study of the scientific theory of global warming, the natural and enhanced greenhouse effect, causes of global warming, climate modelling and experimental evidence relevant to testing these models. It covers the consequences of global warming, climate change scenarios, greenhouse gas abatement strategies and social and technological approaches to mitigation and adaptation. Greenhouse policies, national and international frameworks, legal aspects, economic and fiscal measures will be examined. |
