Change\" alt=\"8a2 Climate Change\">\n<h6 style=\"text-align: left;\">Carbon dioxide enters the atmosphere from natural sources, but anthropogenic (human) activity has increased the amount significantly.<\/h6>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: right;\">Different regions experience climate change in varying ways.\u00a0 Coastal areas are concerned about sea level rise.\u00a0 Grassland and forested regions watch wildfire activity.\u00a0 Sub-tropical regions track moving mosquito species.\u00a0 One of the challenges in addressing climate change is the variability of the impacts: some people are experiencing far more impact than others.<\/h6>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/biotas.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/e8b2-climate-science.jpg\" width=\"2200\" height=\"350\" title=\"8a2 Climate Change\"

Change\">\n<h6 style=\"text-align: left;\">Another issue is the rate of observed changes.\u00a0 Some are rapid; other slower.\u00a0 For example, sea level rise is experienced more in some coastal communities than others.\u00a0 Some fisheries are more impacted than others.\u00a0 This is a challenging global issue that will be addressed by individuals representing many interests and fields of study.<\/h6>\n[embed]https:\/\/vimeo.com\/367651389[\/embed]\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">If you are interested in seeing raw climate data that researchers are working with, or the research papers they are producing, NOAA.gov is an excellent resource.<\/p> <h6>\u00a0<\/h6>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">With increased interest in closely monitoring the weather events that make up climate, a variety of monitoring equipment is stationed around the world, including in orbit.\u00a0 Some of the low-tech gauges are still the most cost-effective and widely distributed.<\/p> <h6>\u00a0<\/h6>\n[embed]https:\/\/vimeo.com\/369091668[\/embed]\n<h3>Quality Sources of Science Information<\/h3>\n<img

style=\"text-align: left;\">As you continue learning and using science knowledge into the future, there will be times that you want to find information on a particular topic.\u00a0 This could include researching the care of an organism, making a dietary choice, or considering medical treatment options.\u00a0 In each case you want updated and accurate information.<\/h5>\n<img

style=\"text-align: left;\">It seems like a primary source, hearing directly from a researcher, would be an advantage over a secondary source that is filtering and condensing the information.\u00a0 However, if you have ever asked a researcher directly about their area of study, you know they can be passionate and focused, not necessarily on your application of the research.\u00a0 Secondary sources can have several advantages.<\/h5>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: left;\">Few people go to primary sources of research for science information, for good reasons.<\/h5> <ul> <li style=\"text-align: left;\"> <h5>Many published studies are written in a format intended for fellow researchers using field-specific jargon and data visualizations.<\/h5> <\/li> <li style=\"text-align: left;\"> <h5>Most research studies are early in the knowledge gathering process, results are preliminary and require confirmation by further research.\u00a0<\/h5> <\/li> <li style=\"text-align: left;\"> <h5>It can be difficult to contextualize the significance of a particular research study without being widely read in the area.<\/h5> <\/li> <li style=\"text-align: left;\"> <h5>Many peer-reviewed research journals are only available through expensive subscriptions maintained by institutions.<\/h5> <\/li> <\/ul>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/vividscience.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/a-stack-1024x520.jpg\"

who can contextualize individual research papers, indicating which science news is worth responding to, and which is still in early stages of knowledge formation.<\/h5>\n<h3>Characteristics of quality
