When exploring climate science, it can be helpful to dig into the data. Though data can provide an objective view at what is occurring in the world around us, it may also remove the human experience, inequities caused by climate change and the systems and structures that are contributing to it. By resituating data in our realities, we are able to make connections and draw on relationships that exist between science and our real world experiences. This activity outline provides a few data figures as well as a critical considerations discussion guide. The purpose of this guide is to support you in looking at data with a critical lens and to ask yourself questions such as, “what is missing here?”.
