3 Graph of precipitation in Boston Harbor. Courtesy of Kevin Morris, NETN Weather vs Climate Weather = day to day data Climate = long term pattern
4 Photo: NASA/Goddard. Arctic sea ice reached a record minimum area in August 2012.
5 Not Just Warming Changes in precipitation: droughts and flooding More frequent, more intense storms Increase in extreme weather events Photo: NASA Goddard/MODIS. Tropical storm Leslie and Hurricane Michael, 2012
6 Greenhouse Effect This effect is necessary to support life Caused by heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere Human activities (burning fossil fuels, deforestation) release more gases and increase the warming effect 93% of warming has been shown, by scientific modeling, to be because of human activity
7 Questions Which of these events are evidence of climate change? Cold winter, major snow storm, heat wave, hot decade, hurricane, increased storms What contributes to the greenhouse effect?
8 Unit II. Effects of Climate Change on our Islands Photo: Mallory. Arial photo of Little Brewster and the harbor
9 More Weather Increased extreme weather: flooding, nor easters, etc Human health threats Loss of winter activities like skating or skiing Graph courtesy of NECIA and UCS
10 Erosion Sea level rise Increased storms and rainfall Habitat loss Photo: Eroding cliffs on Thompson Island
11 Changing Species Biome shifts Rising temperatures drive species north or deeper Invasives Native Rock crab Asian Shore crab
12 Questions Why does the greenhouse effect increase the number and severity of storms? What are some factors that contribute to erosion? How does warming affect species habitats?
13 Unit III. What is the NPS Doing?
14 National Response Plan
15 Our Carbon Footprint Deer Island: PV panels, wind, hydroelectric Management/facilities Transportation
16 Renewable Energy Generation System Georges Island Maintenance Facility (2010) Solar panels (32 kw ) saves $52,500 annually Reduces use of diesel generators Clean and sustainable energy for visitor center and food service
17 Inventory and Monitoring North East Temperate Network (NETN) and other programs Gather data now to provide a base for the future Observe effects already happening Photo: Aya Rothwell. Scientists on Thompson Island, 2008
18 ATBI Insect and Invertebrate Bioblitz
19 Questions What are the 4 parts of the NPS Climate Change Response? What is our park doing to reduce energy use? How does monitoring contribute to the NPS CCRP goals?
20 Photo: Archibald Unit IV. What You Can Do
21 Leave No Trace Pack it in, pack it out Carry a trash bag leave the site better than you found it Choose reusable waterbottles and containers Recycle and compost
22 Reduce Your Carbon Footprint Conserve energy Unplug at home, in the office, and at school Avoid driving Use public transit Carpool Make green choices Buy efficient appliances, cars, and homes
23 Hands-On Help Volunteer with the Stewardship program Fight invasives Identify and count birds Phenology studies Catalogue species Citizen scientists Photo: Ranger Ray Watkins and volunteers planting beach grass on Georges Island, 2011.
24 Questions What is Leave No Trace? How can you use less energy at home? What do volunteer stewards do on the islands?
25 Unit V. Communicating
26 Frame the Issue Pick your angle Connect to the visitor s group identity
27 A Variety Of Styles Use metaphors and universal images
28 Keep it Real Balance emotion and fact Don t exaggerate Accept complexity don t oversimplify Use specific data Cite trusted sources Scientists The Park Service Photo: National Geographic. Mile-high dust storm in Phoenix, AZ, 2011
29 Don t Overwhelm Focus on one message Keep the science simple Use precise, easy vocabulary Stay positive and action-focused
30 Questions What strategies make your communication more effective? What is your goal when interpreting climate change for visitors?
