Virtual Courseware for Global Warming The interactive web-based simulation activity illustrates principles of global warming and climate change due to natural and human caused factors. Global Warming explores climate using an Energy Budget Model and predicts Future Climate Change using data in the Special Report on Emissions Scenarios from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (2001) and the Java Climate Model created by Ben Matthews (www.chooseclimate.org). The activity includes: • An overview demonstration of the Energy Budget Model and Future Climate Change activities • Animated and interactive tutorials on Milankovit From MERLOT - 10 Most Recent Materials on March 22, 2005 at 10:30 p.m..
