HACC WG:
Representation, Collaboration, Data, Media
Table of Contents
This is the pad for the group "Representation, Collaboration, Data, Media"
I left out workflow because it is a more general, administrative topic. If someone wants to add that topic, don't hesitate.
¶( First: I think we should to find a better and shorter name for this group! )

Here are some proposals that were made during the last discussion, and some additional ideas.

Here are some proposals that were made during the last discussion, and some additional ideas.
¶*** Possible target audiences
- people that are affected by actions of HACC (e.g. visitors of future CCC events)
- deniers and sceptics
- pupils, teachers, students ("Chaos macht Schule"???)
- general public
- hackers
- media/journalists (classic media: tv, newspapers and/or "new" media, youtube channels or blogs, HACC as a service)
- scientists (some form of collaboration, HACCaaS)
- Works in both directions:
- Hackers to scientists: like luftdaten.info
- Scientists to hackers for PR work, visualization and so on...
- Works in both directions:
- politicians
- members of the green and sustainable movement
¶Explain basics of climate change
- Show how CO2 works as a heat trap with experiments
- Is it possible to show that certain CO2 is men made with simple experiments??? How to show isotopes of molecules and atoms with simple experiments???
¶Show the current status in science
¶Show the current status in politics
¶Show the current status of development for replacing CO2 emitting systems and tools, with non emitting ones
- Discuss pros and cons
- renewable energy
- wind ernergy systems
- the grid - electricity map (https://www.electricitymap.org )
¶Connect well known and accepted knowledge and scientific facts, to disputed climate change facts
¶Tell positive naratives about what a change of behavior or energy sources can do
¶Show and promote projects and topics concering the environment, clean air and so on...
¶Find a common ground with sceptics ???
- Decentralized and local renewable energy is something nationalists would want to be more independent of the world
- Conserving the environment will find some or even a lot of support in conservative/religious groups
- With "Laudato Si" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laudato_si%27 ) we have the catholic church on our side
- It's true, further development on storage and control systems are necessary during the next years
- Also if climate change would only be a chinese hoax, fossil fuels are finite ressources
¶* CCC events (congress, camp)
Present results at assembly and/or talks:
Present results at assembly and/or talks:
- multiple video projectors
- animations and visualizations
- show experiments live or as a recording
- have factsheets or handouts
- create memes
- sticker
¶Collect typical arguments of
- sceptics and deniers
- people who are convinced that it's too late to act
- people who are convinced that the society won't change and we are doomed
¶Develop or collect experiments
¶Develop or collect visualizations
¶Collect sources of information
- IPCC
- search the net
- different projects
- read scientific articles/papers
¶Collaborate with scientists, journalists
- HACC as a Service
¶Establish workflows, tools and infrastructure
- memex was mentioned https://worldbrain.io/
- stackoverflow was mentioned
- https://earthscience.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/climate-change is good but should be in different languages

- Repository for research data underlying scientific publications, incl. plenty of ecological data: www.datadryad.org
- Biotechnology
- NCBI, National Center for Biotechnology Information, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/
- NCBI is mostly for biomedical and biotechnological data; however, some of the datasets in the SRA (Sequence Read Archive - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sra) are ecological in nature, meaning that they contain DNA/RNA data gathered from habitats. However, it is some work to find out which datasets are helpful for us
- NCBI, National Center for Biotechnology Information, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/
- Animals
- Global database for tracking data of animals by MPI, www.movebank.org
- Plants
- Curated global database for plant traits by MPI, www.try-db.org
- Light pollution
