BLUE BELL, PA--Change happens all the time. Climate change is something that should not be happening all the time. Montgomery County Community College offers a course that goes in depth into the fundamentals of climate change, green house gasses and opportunities for how we can help slow down the adverse effects of climate change.
This course, “The Science of Climate Change,” is taught each fall at Montco's West Campus in Pottstown by Professor Robert Kuhlman. Rob, as he is known fondly by his students, has a passion for teaching about climate change. He explains that he believes climate change is "probably the single most important science [and] technology topic faced by the next generation of humanity on a global scale." Rob Kuhlman’s strong belief makes this course an important one and should be considered by any student interested in science or in need of a science elective.
“The Science of Climate Change” needs to be taught at both campuses and during both semesters. Sadly, Professor Kuhlman is currently the only instructor for this course. I feel that another instructor needs to learn the material and teach this course at the Main campus in Blue Bell.
Rob pointed out another reason that this course is not offered on both campuses. “Student demand hasn't been all that strong,” he said. Student demand for this course must be greater. We, the students of Montgomery County Community College must realize “The Science of Climate Change” is an extremely important topic. Climate change effects us every day. It will have a big impact on us in our future if we do not start learning its harmful effects now.
