pg11

Ninth online page of the graphic novel book Because IPCC shows scientists at work in many disciplines as projected above the classroom. Dialogue: Instead, it gathered, analyzed and summarized tens of thousands of research papers published in scientific journals - the sum of human knowledge - about our climate, how it was changing, the effects those changes would have, and how to avoid them. These papers each represented years or even decades of work by scientists, using something called the scientific method.

Tenth online page shows teacher and student discussing scientific method - introducing a scientist who joins the class virtually while ice climbing to describe sci method. Dialogue: Does anyone know what the scientific method is? Yes Alejandro It’s how scientists prove things! That’s good, Alejandro, though it’s easier to disprove something than to prove it. Let’s let Professor Sirmilik the renowned glaciologist explain it. Oh, all right, let’s see. A study using the scientific method. Okay, here’s one. If climate change is real, and the world is warming up, then your average glacier would begin to melt faster than before But is that really true?

pg13

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.
