How Does Peer-Reviewed Scientific Literature Affect Policy Decisions?
Read the Fine Print
Rating
0.0 stars

In this lesson, students will read articles related to a misstatement of future glacier health in the Himalayas that was reported in the 2007 United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Assessment Report 4.
