The Big Picture Putting the Pieces Together
Clarification • Facts are important when piecing together a complex picture of Global Environmental Change • When preparing for the final, do prepare your facts http://www.murrayusers.sa.gov.au/RMUUC-OldVersion/images/just_the_facts.GIF
Clarification • However, if while you are taking the final and you realize that you need a partially remembered fact, then you may qualify an approximate fact • Don’t use “that” as an excuse not to put the pieces together http://www.articulate.com/rapid-elearning/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/owl.gif
Misconceptions About Science • The role of science is to elucidate the underlying mechanisms to natural phenomena • Scientists primarily work in very narrow fields • When scientists draw conclusions, it is scrutinized, argued, and debated before it is published • Each group of scientists has a very small piece of the puzzle

Who Implements Change? • Politicians • Scientists do debate on how ineffectual we are in making fundamental changes to our world • It is frustrating to present our findings and conclusions to be ignored http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2009/images/01/22/gal.obama.oval.office.jpg
What Motivates Politicians? • YOU! • if you express your opinion to your government representatives • If you don’t, then our officials will only hear those who are expressing their opinions – lobbyists, big business, and vocal voters http://photos.upi.com/story/t/09cafdbf5fb51c720460a7266b1a7f16/Obama_shown_jacket-free_in_the_Oval_Office.jpg
Major Facts • Cosmic • Earth’s place in space • Planetary • Dynamic planet • Chemistry • Tells the story • The Past • What has happened • Models for the Future http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/0304/bluemarble2k_big.jpg
Science is consensus – meaning the majority of scientists agree – The overwhelming majority of climatologists agree Are they biased? Who are the dissenters? Primarily work with the sun, solar radiation, or in conjunction with energy Are they biased? Remember
