My Themes Global change on our planet can only be understood by combining “abiotic” and “biotic” components – must look at the whole Ecosystem A combination of facts and scientific concepts can help us understand even the most complicated problems Science is NOT hard, and everyone can and MUST learn enough to make rational decisions about our world’s future

Possible Projects The “missing sink” - Where did all the CO 2 go? Microbes rule, Humans drool Does the rainforest really matter? The day the Earth turned brown and blue – The limits to food production Who’s doing who? Climate skeptics and the use and misuse of Science facts Who needs more ice? Melting the Earth’s glaciers (a.k.a. “Water World 2050”, starring B. van der Pluijm as K. Costner…) WWF Climate 2008 “rage in the cage” – People vs. Nature Abrupt climate change – can El Nino’s run wild? Whatcha gonna do when the rain don’t come – Shifts in the Global water cycle

Science in the news: Hurricanes – Gustav = climate, energy, weather, and ocean circulation Climate change Evolution = microbes and antibiotic resistance; bird flu Government policy – Congress, bills, law.

The nature of science Aristotle – perfectly at home discussing philosophy. But, didn’t even know how big the world was, still thought that fire and wind were fundamental elements. Pick someone else – didn’t even know that evolution occurred, thought the world was only thousands of years old instead of billions.
