Over the last decade the general public has become increasingly aware of the changes in climate that have occurred in the past and the problems that could arise in future. But, just how variable is the Earth's climate and how significant are the changes we have seen in recent times in the broader context? What are the causes of climate change and how much of the current change is due to natural causes and how much to the enhanced greenhouse effect we hear so much about? ...

... Bad Astronomy . ... I think I will break from my usual format of Bad Astronomy/ Good Astronomy by saying that the way we define seasons currently is not strictly bad, but I feel (in my opinion!) that it could be better. The definition of when the seasons begin is at the moment of solstice or equinox; that is, winter (in the north) starts on December 22 nd and summer starts on June 22 nd . ... Now imagine breaking up the Sun's 46 degree up-and-down yearly swing into 1 day intervals. ...

Changing a World . What did the students learn from all this? ... The students found this unsatisfactory -- some of them would not be able to fit another astronomy class into their schedules, but they wanted to know about our planetary neighbors, and this project gave them the opportunity to find out without spending valuable class time on the subject. ... The students also learned to learn for themselves, perhaps one of the most important milestones during formal education. ...
