Learning about global warming can prepare you for a career in meteorology, climatology, or renewable energy. Meteorologists and climatologists research atmospheric patterns and make forecasts. Meteorologists tend to focus on short-term weather shifts, whereas climatologists focus on long-term changes. Their models can inform the actions of policymakers and warn the public of future challenges.
People who work in the renewable energy industry research, design, install, and maintain energy systems that don't rely on fossil fuels. These systems include solar panels, wind farms, and various other methods of clean energy production. Specific job titles in the field include wind turbine technician, solar energy systems designer, and environmental engineer. The field also has legal and sales sides, so you can work in positions such as a renewable energy sales agent or renewable energy lawyer.‎
