Module 2: Fossil Fuel and Future of EnergyThis module describes how energy use and energy resources, specifically coal, oil, and natural gas, have varied over time.
Module 3: The World of Renewable EnergyThis module explores the patterns of renewable energy use and explains the hydro, solar, wind, and biomass energy. It also discusses how energy use can be decreased and efficiency can be increased.
Module 4: Effects of Global ChangeThis module explores the impacts of global environmental changes including feedback loops, ocean acidification, sea level rise, and human equity issues.
This course deals with both renewable and non-renewable energy. By applying scientific principles and considering real-world examples, you will examine: 1. Non-renewable fossil fuels with a focus on coal, petroleum and natural gas and the benefits and consequences of using each. 2. Renewable fuels such as wind and solar and identify that even renewable “green” energy sources have impacts as well as benefits. 3. Biodiversity and global change, which are the integrating units of environ
