This session will introduce the fundamentals of climate science and provide an overview of what climate scientists know about our current and future climate. The talk will walk through the greenhouse effect, introduce the human-induced and natural climate forcing components such as greenhouse gas emissions, ozone, volcanic eruptions, aerosols, and Short Lived Climate Pollutants. Emphasis will be on the complexity and uncertainty regarding current understanding and future projections of earth's climate. The link between climate and extreme weather will also be discussed.
