- Cel przedmiotu:
- Climate change is one of the most important civilization problem. The goal of the course is to provide for undergraduate students knowledge on anthropogenic and climatic causes as well as global and regional effects of changes in the concentration of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere. The phenomena of climate variability and changes, both observed in the past and predicted for the next century, that affect the human population and natural ecosystems, will be discussed. The components and basic mechanisms governing the response of the climate system to the factors driving changes will be characterized. The role of science, politics, social, economic and media issues in the current debate on what to do with climate change will also be demonstrated.

- Metody oceny:
- The attendance at lectures is recommended. It is recommended that the student attends all lectures (15 hours). Each lecture will end with a short quiz on the content of the lecture. If the student participates in all the quizzes (confirmation of the activity in lectures), it will be a bonus to raise the test grade by half a grade. The condition for passing the lectures is obtaining a positive grade from the written test in the fifteenth week of classes, containing the lectures content. The obtained assessment from the written lecture test is made available at the next consultation. In the case of a unsatisfactory grade from the lecture test, the student has the possibility to correct it during the next term in the examination session. In the case of failure to pass a given material, students are allowed to take an final date in the resit session. The student may repeat the lecture due to unsatisfactory results only in the next academic year. When completing the course, the student may only use his or her acquired knowledge. It is unacceptable to use your own notes, books and scripts. The student has the right to inspect his work always during the tutor's consultation hours or at another time agreed by email.
