A dialogue of sorts, poetic and to the images of Michael E. Mann's series on Climate Science.

Video Clip #1 (Daniel): This video clip should make you think of whatever comes to mind; an exercise on free form association (FFA). The video clips show examples of rainfall and snowfall. 

Video Clip #2 (Samir): This video clip highlights record snowfall events, blizzard conditions along the US East coast in no way contradict the human warming of the planet. In many ways, these events should point to the benefit of a collective body of scientific knowledge that makes us aware, inform our individual and the collective consciousness of the overall pattern. Everything else is ignorance of sorts. 

Video Clip #3 (Samir): This video clip shows how the ocean evaporates more moisture, so when you get those Nor'easters along the US east coast in Boston and DC you actually get larger amounts of snowfall. 

Video Clip #4 (Daniel): This video clip shows a map and how if you were to stand back and look you would see that more of it is green than yellow or red and what that tells you is that precipitation overall is increasing and that is consistent with the larger global pattern; as we warm the planet, as we warm the oceans there is more moisture in the atmosphere that leads to an overall increase in rainfall but we also see the effect of migrating atmospheric circulation patterns as the descending rim of that Hadley Cell atmospheric circulation pattern expands from the subtropics to the mid-latitudes we see decreases in rainfall in places like the southeastern US (see circles on the map) or the southwestern states. . .  

Video Clip #5 (Samir): This video clip should make you think how when it comes to global warming it seems obvious that there will be more intense and common heat waves; the warmer the planet the more likely you are to see extreme warming.

Video Clip #6 (Daniel): This video clip should initiate a discussion on how when you warm up the planet you move the bell curve over to the right so that the centre of the curve moves to higher temperatures. When you move the curve over you see even more dramatic in what is referred to as the “tail” of the distribution. The area that is two standard deviations (SD) above the mean or the average. This is the areaway out there in the extreme right tail of the distribution (notice yellow highlighted box).
