<b>&#8220;Climate Change: Fact or Fiction?&#8221;</b>
</p>
<p>
<img src="http://www.vancouver.wsu.edu/css/images/spring08_01.jpg" class="left" />Climate change is a topic of current international debate and appears in the media constantly. Is it occurring? If it is, what are the causes?
</p>
<p>
The implications of climate change concern everyone from policy makers to scientists to conservationists to business owners and the ordinary citizen.
</p>
<p>
The evidence for climate change will be presented along with a discussion of attribution of causes. Particular attention will be paid to the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reports that were just published and the conclusions drawn by participating scientists. Difficulties presented to policy makers will be discussed.
