CLIMATE CHANGE AND THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE<br>
<br>
<br>
The New Jersey Scholars Program offers one summer teaching
position in the discipline of SCIENCE as we study the field of
climate change.<br>
<br>
<br>
The students in the program are 39 gifted, highly motivated high
school students who have completed their junior year. This
summers program will focus on the dynamics of how climate
changed comes about, how it affects society and the impact of
public policy on this issue. This course aims to address the
whole complexity of climate changed as an issue, by bringing
together the science, impacts, economics, abatement
technologies, and policy solutions into one course. Through
this course, we will address several important questions. What
is the scientific basis for our understanding of climate change,
and in what ways is that scientific basis uncertain? What
changes in climate might we expect over the coming centuries?
What would be the impacts of these changes in climate for human
well-being and the natural world? What are the sources of
emissions of greenhouse gases? What technologies exist or might
be developed to allow us to slow climate change, and what
international policy solutions might be necessary or preferred?
This summers program will focus on the complexities of climate
change the scientific basis and uncertainties about our
understanding of it, how it affects society and the impact of
public policy on this issue. This is an inter-disciplinary
program and will include the disciplines of history/economics,
anthropology and sociology, science and literature. The program
runs from June 28 through July 31 and is located at The
Lawrenceville School, Lawrenceville, New Jersey. The teacher in
this position will give five lectures (each 90 minutes in
length) and will teach 9 seminar topics (each to three smaller
seminar groups, 90 minutes in length). Some out of classroom
duties are also involved. Payment is $4,000.00. Room and board

this program gave them the most exciting teaching experience of
their careers. <br>
