2. AR4 SPM-1 page 03 Michael Prather ESS xxx – SPM1 This slide presents important information to the policy makers: 1)It shows the rapid rise in greenhouse gases over the last 200 years is unprecedented. 2)It equates this rise to radiative forcing (right-hand axis) and hence climate change. but 3) The figure could have been stretched horizontally a bit more to make the point and more easily see the evolution of the GHGases. 4) The colors are distracting and do not aid in making the key points above. NOTE: These bullets are an abbreviated list of points that you wish to make – do not just read them as is (we can do that), expand upon them when your are called! Use 14-point type or larger. put your name on slide >> << put page no. on slide tell us why this particular item is so critical to bring forward to the Summary >> describe the science, and also the importance of it.
