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 :

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Go through the ‘Guidelines for discussions’.

If you run into any problems, please contact Maike Scheffold (maike.scheffold@uni-hamburg.de) by 22nd April.
