Eighth online page of the graphic novel book Because IPCC shows IPCC getting Nobel Prize then teacher begins to describe how IPCC works.
Dialogue:
Even though real action was slow in coming, the world was starting to recognize how important the IPCC’s work was. The IPCC even won the Nobel Prize.
But let’s not get ahead of ourselves.
We’re going to learn about how the IPCC worked.
The IPCC’s work was to assess the state of scientific understanding. It wasn’t a group that did primary research itself. — 8 of 31

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. — 9 of 31

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? — 10 of 31
