Eleventh online page of the graphic novel book Because IPCC shows scientist describing scientific method while surrounded by ice fields Dialogue: To do a study using the scientific method, first I need a hypothesis, which means a statement that my study can support as being true or, if I was wrong, as being false. So in this case my hypothesis is that glaciers around the world are getting smaller than they used to be. So how can I test my hypothesis? There are many glaciers in the world… and time is an important factor. By choosing about 40 glaciers from different places in the world, and studying those closely for several decades, my colleagues and I have gotten a pretty good idea of how all glaciers are behaving.
