Climate Change: What Is It?

Climate change has become such a HOT topic, but what exactly is it? How is it different from weather and should we be worried? To find out, I talked to climate scientist Dr. Corey Gabriel, executive director of the climate science and policy master’s program at Scripps Institution of Oceanography. 
 
Selected readings:
