Climate Change Science
Fundamentals about climate science.
Self-Paced Training
CCL also offers live training sessions on a variety of topics every week. View the Training Events Calendar for a full list.
Climate Change Science Basics
This training addresses the sources and concentrations of greenhouse gases, as well as the basic scientific concepts behind climate change. It highlights the importance behind the scientific method and the peer review process, and addresses best practices in communicating this research with other community members.
Start TrainingClimate and Weather
This training looks at how global warming increases the frequency and severity of weather events as well as how this complexity can be effectively communicated to the general public.
Start TrainingSixth IPCC Assessment Report
This training reviews the most recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) sixth assessment reports to examine why it was written, what it tells us that’s new, and how it informs CCL’s work.
Start TrainingWeather Attribution Science
Attribution science is the process of quantifying the contribution of global warming to extreme weather and other events. This training discusses the background of attribution science, the process for connecting climate change with extreme weather events, and how we as CCL volunteers can effectively communicate its research and findings.
