  2. The study of global warming in terms of its ability to be presented to people outside of the sciences In particular, the language used to present global warming and discuss it between the disciplines • Between the Sciences, Humanities, the public and the politicians The Humanities

  3. “Interrogative Ecocriticism and the Rhetoric of Global Warming” • Published in 2005 by Daniel Fried • The article is focused on the differences between the way the sciences study global warming and the way that the humanities makes nature into art • The main point of his article is to prove that some literature does not accurately describe nature but then prove how Chu lyrics correctly depict nature

  4. “Greenhouse Allegories: Creating Modern Fairy Tales” • Published in 1995 by Ann Henderson-Sellers • The article is discussing how there is a gap between the scientists who are discovering global warming and the politicians who are enacting laws to curb global warming • Uses an allegory to explain global warming – about catching a bus

  5. The Humanities Henderson-Sellers Fried • Translates the Chu lyrics to provide what he considers the best literature to show the effects or global warming • Gap is between scientists and humanities • Goal of article is to be used in an educational setting • Need a “common language” to transverse between disciplines • Provides what she considers the best way to present global warming (the allegory) • Gap is between scientists and policy makers

  6. Explores global warming by creating hypothesis and theories, testing them to get results and finally analyzing the results • Hypothesis • Observation • Methods • Results • Discussion The Sciences

  7. “Climate Response to Increasing Levels of Greenhouse Gasses and Sulfate Aerosols” • Published in 1995 by J. F. B. Mitchell and T. C. Johns • The article is a scientific study about the effects of greenhouse gasses and aerosols on the environment that has led to a change in the climate. • They use studies preformed between 1860 and 1990 to compile the effects of aerosols and their relation to the greenhouse gases and therefore their association with global warming.

  8. “Trends, Rhythms and Aberrations in Global Climate 65 Ma to Present” • Published in 2001 by James Zachos, Ellen Thomas, Lisa Sloan, and Katharina Billups • Through the culmination of many studies the authors are attempting to determine the main causes for global warming. • They are using this data to predict what the foremost focus should be when attempting to slow down and control the effect of global warming in the future. • The study of sedimentary archives, orbital records and more recently the study of isotopes, Zachos et al have related this data to climate change.

  9. The Sciences Zachos, Thomas, Sloan, and Billups Mitchell and Johns • CO2 is one of the leading forces in global warming • Aerosols are the next leading source of global warming • CO2 is a large force in global wamring • There are many different sources that are encouraging global warming • Methane release, Earth’s orbital rotation and other sources

  10. In the social sciences global warming and climate changes is examined in respect to how the public understands, interprets and historical studies of how they reacted to the effects of global warming to better understand and predict the future The Social Sciences

  11. “In what sense does the public need to understand global climate change?” • Published in 2000 Richard Bord, Robert O’Connor and Ann Fisher • Based on the idea that environmental programs that are attempting to educate people about global warming and its effects on our earth need to first understand how people perceive climate change. • The survey was given to 1,218 Americans in the summer of 1997 and asked questions about global warming to determine the general understanding as well as to identify the bogus causes that people thought were associated with the climate change

  12. “Cultural Responses to Climate Change During the Late Holocene” • Published in 2001 by Peter B. deMenocal • The article is a study of past cultures and their response to climate change • Basis of the study is that our modern society can learn from the past cultures • The research consists of scientific studies of climate records combined with historical studies of cultures.

  13. The Social Sciences deMenocal Bord, O'Connor and Fisher • Studied people of the present in order to understand the future • Used a survey to gain knowledge • Found that most people cite bogus causes for global warming and don’t think of it as much of a risk to our Earth • Studied people of the past in order to predict how our society will react • Studied other scientific articles to provide research • Found a model that can be applied to our society and believes there is hope that we will make it through
