THIS SLIDE SETS THE SCENE
Teacher Earth Science Education Programme
Activities based on factRESEARCH!The problem with the climate change –
global warming
debate is•
The amount of real data
•
The complexity of the science involved•
The amount of spurious data and dodgy interpretation
•
The number of other agendas•
The head in the sand syndrome
► need to ensure sources are reliable
Presenter
Presentation Notes
Worth noting here that the issue is the amount and complexity of the data. WHO do you / can you believe? RESEARCH is the key BUT much of the data [good and bad] is online and NOT in books. Students can easily be lead off into dodgy territory because they are not able to adequately discriminate between good and dubious sources or recognise what may be fallacious arguments.
