Is seeing really believing when it comes to climate change? Starting Sept 2010, Dr. Stephen R. J. Sheppard and his students will examine this topic through a leading-edge pilot course being offered at UBC. Visualizing Climate Change (CONS 449C Section 101) will widen the lens on climate change and use the universal appeal of visual media to illustrate the big picture and focus on solutions. The course has no prerequisites and is geared toward second year and higher undergraduate students from the arts and sciences who are interested in climate change and exploring their options.   For more information visit:  http://sustain.ubc.ca/teaching-learning/featured-content/visualizing-climate-change
