James Balog is a big believer that art forms like photography can influence the way we think about our relationship to nature—and that the art may have more of an impact than arguments based on lots of data. Locate other photographs that you think are especially powerful and persuasive about the impact that humans are having on the natural world. Create a collage (crediting the photographers, of course!) and share it with your classmates. Good resources include: T ED: Edward Burtynski on manufactured landscapes: http://www.ted.com/talks/edward_burtynsky_on_manufactured_landscapes.html TED: Yann Arthus-Bertrand captures fragile Earth in wide-angle: http://www.ted.com/talks/yann_arthus_bertrand_captures_fragile_earth_in_wide_angle.html National Geographic: http://www.nationalgeographic.com Outreach is an important element of the Extreme Ice Survey. Imagine you were in charge of designing the outreach component of Balog’s project. What tactics do you think would be most effective to educate the general public about the survey’s findings specifically and climate change more generally?
