This note summarises all of the chapters in the climate change section of the textbook (part of the core). This note contains most if not everything you need to know about climate change. I would recommend to find some case studies to explain all the things listed on the note. Some case studies may be listed on the summary, however, most I used to keep on a "case study" bank.
