The argument is over. Climate change is real. For over half a century, CU-Boulder researchers have led the effort to understand changes in the atmosphere, in global weather patterns, in sea ice levels, in the rate of ice melt, in the permafrost, in the environmental impact of human activity, and more. Today, we continue to lead the way with strong programs in climate change, renewable energy, and campus sustainability.
