What’s climate change all about, and what’s my role?
EXPECTATIONS AND GUIDELINES FOR RESPONSES: • Best responses are sincere, accurate,
creative and communicate a clear message about climate change. • Your response or presentation must
be in your own words, using a conversational style. • You already know or will soon see that climate
change is a very broad, deep and complex issue. • Pick a framework that moves you most and select
your focus carefully. • You must both explain some aspect of climate change AND articulate your
role. • Responses must reveal some basic understanding of the science of global climate change. •
Articulate your role at this point in time, listing three appropriate and realistic steps or behaviors. • This
is a relatively short assignment so narrow your focus. • Longer presentations can be worked on towards
Phase II and Phase III.
Responses may focus on as few as one of the following aspects of climate change: global
warming, adaptation and/or mitigation strategies, carbon pollution, ocean acidity, sea level
rise, carbon sequestration, ice melts, biodiversity, health, food, water, energy, economic
opportunity, and so on.

Communication Frustrations
Communication is part science, part art.
There’s a down side to
“getting too caught up in your head,”
if you’re trying to communicate with the
non-cerebral public.
