Questions
a: What are some of the barriers to understanding an issue as complex as Climate Change?
b: Are you surprised by how people have ‘used’ the information about a hiatus?
c: Are arguments establishing global warming sufficient to promote action on climate change or
not?
d: Assuming you were to believe in anthropocentric climate change, using the arguments in this
subject, are you in favour of taxes or cap and trade for addressing climate change? Why or why
not? PLANETOZ BYGRAHAMREADFEARN Global warming has not stopped. People should
understand that the planet is a closed system. As we increase our emissions of greenhouse gases,
the fundamental thermal dynamics tells us we have added heat into the system. Once it\'s
trapped, it can go to a myriad of places-land surface, oceans, ice shelves, ice sheets, glaciers for
example HOSTED BY THE GUARDIAN England explained how the winds help the ocean to
absorb heat into the thermocline-that\'s roughly the area between 100 metres and 300 metres
deep. He says once the trade winds drop which is likely to come within years rather than decades
- then the averaged surface temperatures will rise sharply again. The \'pause\' in global warming
is not even a thing Media outlets across the world have extensively covered England\'s paper.
National Geographic told us the study revealed how the heat had been \"hiding\" in the oceans.
All signs point to an acceleration of human-caused climate change. So why all this talk of a
pause? Over at the ABC, we were told the paper gave an explanation for \"a pause in global
warming\" and that \"over the past 15 years the rate of global warming has slowed - and more
recently almost stalled.\" The IPCC in 2013 pointed out that more than 90% of the world?s extra
heat is being soaked up by the oceans, rather than lingering on the surface. Photograph:
Universal History Archive\'Getty Images On The Conversation, we had \"Global warming stalled
by strong winds driving heat into oceans The idea that global warming has \"paused\" or is
currently chillaxing in a comfy chair with the words \"hiatus\" written on it has been getting a
good run in the media of late. Even though these reports spoke in detail about the complexity of
the research (England feels the coverage generally has been very good), they could inadvertently
cement the idea that global warming has in some way stopped, when it hasn\'t. Much of this is
down to a new study analysing why one single measure of climate change- the temperatures on
the surface averaged out across the entire globe - might not have been rising quite so quickly as
some thought they might. But this is almost unavoidable. You can hardly blame journalists and
commentators for repeating the phrase that \"global warming is in a hiatus\" when the offending
word is in the itle of the scientific paper itself (Recent intensification of wind-driven circulation
in the Pacific and the ongoing warming hiatus But here\'s the thing. There never was a \"paus.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Cause and Effect
Fact vs Fiction
Climate change is supported by many facts and a lot of
fiction.
Fact: Climate change is, as arguably agreed by
scientists, a direct result of human activity.
Fiction: CO2 gases are the main contributing factor
towards climate change. It is important to consider a
wide range of sources when understanding climate
change.
green
FOR THE FUTURE
There are a variety of causes that contribute to
climate change but more significantly, it is the
gases produced by human activity as well as
water vapour production. The global average
temperature, since the late 19th century, has risen
0.85oC and has continued to do so since the
middle of the 20th century (since greenhouse
gases have increased).
Supporting Evidence
The evidence for climate change is
overwhelming. On average, the global
temperature has increased 0.6oC with the 12
warmest years on record occurring since 1998.
But also changing are the patterns in rainfall,
snow, droughts and storms. This in turn has also
had effects on plant and animal behaviour.

considered to minimalise further global warming.
The Government is looking at improved agricultural
and water management practices as well as
sustainable
mining, manufacturing, architecture, business and

come about as a result of further media campaigns.
Other ways include reducing emissions by using
less, using something else which is less harmful and

Resolution Outcomes
At the 22nd Annual meeting of the
Asia-Pacific Parliamentary Forum, the Australian delegation wrote a draft resolution (3.1) for the
cooperation to face climate change.
This draft resolution calls upon all signatories to consider policymaking in the area of climate change as
well as move climate change to the forefront of their agendas and budgets. There is also a call to
implement innovative models of sustainable development.

https://ecogirlcosmoboy.wordpress.com/category/communicat
ion/science-communication/
Everywhere on Earth ice is changing. The famed
snows of Kilimanjaro have melted more than 80
percent since 1912. Glaciers in the Garhwal
Himalaya in India are retreating so fast that
researchers believe that most central and eastern
Himalayan glaciers could virtually disappear by
2035. Arctic sea ice has thinned significantly over
the past half century, and its extent has declined
by about 10 percent in the past 30 years. NASA's
repeated laser altimeter readings show the edges
of Greenland's ice sheet shrinking.
Cause and Effect
Fact vs Fiction
As the Earth system warms due to rising levels of
greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, observations
show that land-based glaciers are melting fast in many
places around the world - in the United
States, Europe, South America, and Asia. Because of
ice-albedo feedback, as ice melts, albedo
rises, producing further warming and faster melting.
Model predictions indicate that the remaining large
glaciers in Glacier National Park will be gone by 2030.
Spring freshwater ice breakup in the Northern
Hemisphere now occurs nine days earlier than it
did 150 years ago, and autumn freeze-up ten
days later. Thawing permafrost has caused the
ground to subside more than 15 feet (4.6 meters)
in parts of Alaska. From the Arctic to Peru, from
Switzerland to the equatorial glaciers of Man Jaya
in Indonesia, massive ice fields, monstrous
glaciers, and sea ice are disappearing, fast.

9. Melting Ice Glaciers
Preventative Action
Resolution Outcomes
When temperatures rise and ice melts, more water
flows to the seas from glaciers and ice caps, and
ocean water warms and expands in volume. This
combination of effects has played the major role in
raising average global sea level between four and
eight inches (10 and 20 centimeters) in the past
hundred years, according to the Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). ―Actions on the
part of industrial nations to curb greenhouse gas
emissions will set an example for rapidly
developing nations and will be an important step
toward mitigating the impacts of ice sheets on
future sea level rise and humans worldwide‖
Monaghan, A. (2009).
The Greenland, Alaskan and West Antarctic ice
sheets together hold about 25% of the fresh
water on the planet. The effects of the collapse
of either ice sheet would be huge. Once you
lose one of these ice sheets, there's no putting
it back for thousands of years, if ever. If they
disintegrate, sea level could rise nearly 20
metres, possibly in only one decade. This
would swamp most cities and ports, as well
much of the best agricultural land, where over 6
billion people inhabit. Similarly the western
Antarctica‘s mass is disappearing at about 240
cubic kilometres per year. Depletion of ozone is
adding to this problem for it has encouraged
hotter winds to flow across the Antarctic.

Fact vs Fiction
Is global warming really causing the ocean
temperature to rise? There are many
inconsistencies in the data to support rising ocean
temperatures due to the enormous size of the
ocean, and the amount of naturally occurring
variability caused by whether phenomena.
“In spite of all the difficulties, Lyman et al are able
to demonstrate a robust warming of the globe
between 2003 and 2008” (Lyman & Good et
al., 2010). However this data is only measured to a
depth of 700 meters. A reappraisal of the messy
data on upper-ocean heat content for 1993–2008
provides clear evidence for warming. But
differences among various analyses and
inconsistencies with other indicators merit attention
(Trenberth 2010).

11. Rising Ocean Temperatures
Supporting Evidence
The amount of information available in regards to
Rising Ocean Temperature caused by climate
change is extensive to say the lease.
Organisations, Governments, and international
councils on climate change are researching and
discovering new information daily. The most
objective evidence is outlined by the International
Panel on Climate Change. ―Because of its scientific
and intergovernmental nature, the IPCC embodies
a unique opportunity to provide rigorous and
balanced scientific information to decision makers.
By endorsing the IPCC reports, governments
acknowledge the authority of their scientific
content. The work of the organization is therefore
policy-relevant and yet policy-neutral, never policyprescriptive.” (Ipcc.ch, 2014)

Preventative Actions
Continued emissions of greenhouse gases will lead to
further climate changes. Future changes are expected
to include a warmer atmosphere, a warmer and more
acidic ocean, higher sea levels, and larger changes in
precipitation patterns. The extent of future climate
change depends on what we do now to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions. The more we emit, the
larger future changes will be (Epa.gov, 2014).

Resolution Outcomes
There is an overwhelming need for international cooperation to reduce the rising ocean temperatures, and
climate change as a whole. As new technological and scientific methods are discovered, a shared and
collaborative approach will lead to the best outcomes. A basic problem here is that cooperation is needed
among a very large group of unrelated individuals, in effect the entire human population (Gsottbauer & Van

13. Rising Ocean Temperatures
Cause and Effect
The cause of Rising Ocean Temperature can be
attributed to many things, however ―The observed
widespread warming of the atmosphere and
ocean, together with ice mass loss, support the
conclusion that it is extremely unlikely that global
climate change of the past 50 years can be
explained without external forcing and very
likely that it is not due to known natural causes
alone (Pachauri & Reisinger, 2008).
The minor increases of 0.1°c per year may seem
like an insignificant rise, however even a small
change in water temperature can be detrimental to
marine life, reproduction and feeding patterns to
name just a few (Sanctuaries.noaa.gov, 2014).
