Task
Noticing the potential you have as emerging scientists in the field, the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has asked you to create a formal, persuasive argument either for or against the idea that the steady buildup of greenhouse gases is contributing to the phenomenon known as global warming. You and your team will:
- Analyze the IPCC's 4th report
- Determine the strengths and weaknesses that arise when interpretting the IPCC's report from a scientific standpoint
- Review all of the resources provided in coming to a decision on which stance you will take
- Identify which side of the argument you feel has more merit and presents a more accurate depiction of the data
- Examine the opposing viewpoint and acknowledge it
- Prepare a formal 20-25 slide PowerPoint presentation persuading the chairperson of the IPCC to agree with your point of view
