I've been working on a climate quiz, that (with some adaptation) could serve several purposes -
It's got 2 sections - first a set of multiple-choice Qs, then some Qs with one-liner answers. My goal is for each correct answer to have a URL backing it up. Anything wrong/misleading? Better URL for an answer, or better/any reference for the facts laid out in a question? It needs "projections for the future" questions, and policy-related Qs; does anyone have a set of these? Have I missed any other important areas? Anyone have a set of "image"-based Qs - e.g. NASA GISS "checkered" data as a mystery image ( tinyurl.com/MysteryImage discussed at http://www.cejournal.net/?p=4525 ) And how could this quiz be integrated into the SkS site, or does it belong somewhere else?

If you want some Qs on policy, you can ask about the costs of pricing carbon, which I discussed here. | |

Editorial suggestion: for clarity, change format: "Answer: x URL" => "Answer: x); URL"
18: Shouldn't the answer be c)? Actually, your numbering for that question is screwed up anyway: "a, a, b". The 3rd choice is correct. 22: If you don't deal with cold as well as hot national extremes, this could be seen as a bias, and set up the quiz-master for a booby-trap. In fact, AGW would lead one to expect both kind of extremes, so you may as well grasp the nettle firmly. 23: Might be more meaningful to focus the question on coal: I think most people think the oil will be gone before long, probably before we get around to renewables; but there are hundreds of years of coal left.

The problem with #18 i s that there are two "a" answers. If they were 'a', 'b', 'c', the answer would be "c". | |
2011-01-28 12:05:01 | Thanks all. Here's the revised set. | |

Thanks folks. I integrated most of your feedback (except nealjking's sensible "#23: Might be more meaningful to focus the question on coal", since this Q was reference-driven.) Added a few new Qs to the end of the "multiple choice" and "explain" sections. We'll see how it looks here, then I'll upload as flashcards. Multiple choice:

I need to fix the Category tags, but... http://www.flashcardexchange.com/flashcards/view/1632109 I'll check them later; gotta run... | |

I'd like others to be able to use these & the quiz Qs above, but I don't want to spend more time on them. Metaphors

....a friend at the Manpollo-forums has created a version which already has November included:
I'll poke him if he can add December as well (the data should be in by now) - the graphic might be better if it shows the whole year... Cheers | |
2011-01-31 11:42:36 | Thanks Baerbel! | |

Thank you Baerbel - and thank you for sharing your climate quiz Qs, which got this started.

2011-01-31 19:02:40 | German version of climate quiz | |
BaerbelW baerbel-for-350@email... 93.231.140.96 |
Hi Anna, you are welcome! Would it help you if you had a PDF-version (or the original ppt) of my quiz where I've included several graphics from SkS? Obivously, the Q&A are in German. If yes, I can send it to you, will just need your email-address. Or - if others are interested - I can just upload it to the SkS-file directory. Cheers Baerbel

Hi Folks, after some emailing back and forth between Anna, John and myself, I created a drafted blog-post which you can find in the blog-post-forum. Feedback is very welcome! Thanks and Cheers |
