Our daily news is full of discussions about rising oceans, and other natural disasters related to global warming. This is not the first-time humans have faced severe climate change. Historically, we have had periods such as “The long summer” and “The little ice age” because of climate disruptions. What caused these disruptions? How did they affect the human condition? Can we learn anything from these historical events that we can apply to our current situation? We will study this topic from the standpoint of past experiences, our current situation and what the future might hold. Presentations may range from historical weather events to our current extreme weather to what we might expect in the future and what we can do about it .
