Homework 3 Due: 24th April
Next lecture, you are going to engage in the first role-play. The question of that role-play is: “How certain are we that the global average near-surface air temperature has increased since 1850?”
The contributing roles are: mainstream climate scientist, climate skeptic, journalist, and politician.
Please prepare for the role-play as described below :
- Define your role more concretely (e.g. science journalists vs. tabloid journalists) and prepare a sign stating your definition. Bring this to the role-play.
- Prepare the arguments for your role in the role-play regarding the question (make sure to understand your role’s position to the question, institutional settings and so on…) in your role-group.
- Decide upon the tasks: main speaker (stating main points,…). Keep in mind that all of you should contribute to the discussion and also take notes.
- Go through the ‘Guidelines for discussions’.
If you run into any problems, please contact Maike Scheffold (maike.scheffold@uni-hamburg.de) by 22nd April.
