Impressed with his knowledge and balance. He's not an alarmist, but he lays out the very serious issue of climate change, how it works, and what our options are for engaging with it. This was very science-based and he referred to a lot of charts, so I'd recommend referring to the pdf for those otherwise you'll miss a lot.

I am not a science person, and generally am not interested in learning more about scientific topics, but I thought I should know more about global warming, so I gave this lecture series a chance. Information was presented in an engaging accessible manner, and the connections between different topics were clearly drawn. Granted, at times I had to work to understand the chemistry behind climate changes, but putting in that effort led me to a real intellectual high. I learned so much, and feel much more equipped to participate in the national debate about global warming, climate change, and energy conservation. I've already put another "Great Course" from the Teaching Company on hold at the library.
