The American Museum of Natural History and the Environmental Defense Fund will produce a major exhibition on global warming. The prospect of global warming is viewed by many with increasing attention and concern, but conflicting reports have resulted in public confusion about predictions of climate change. Thus, a need exists for education on this timely subject, particularly in the direct and vivid way that only an exhibition provides. Wide-spread awareness of the significance of potential climate change will lead to making informed decisions and taking necessary actions regarding this complex and serious problem. Visitors will learn about the forces that drive climate change, the sources and properties of greenhouse gases, how scientists study climate, and debates on the accuracy of global warming predictions. The exhibition will also focus on potential environmental, social, and economic consequences of global warming and what choices individuals and nations can make to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. Visitors will be able to explore these topics in depth and integrate the information with personal experience. The exhibition will present scientific data objectively, clearly distinguishing between what is known and what is predicted. The American Museum and EDF will produce scientific symposia, educational programs, and publications for greater outreach to general visitors, schools and the media. Consultants will monitor and evaluate the content and design, from planning through fabrication and display, to ensure the educational effectiveness of the exhibition.

美国自然历史博物馆和环境防御基金将举办有关全球变暖的主要展览。 人们对全球变暖的前景受到许多关注和关注的看法，但相互矛盾的报告导致公众对气候变化的预测感到困惑。 因此，在这个及时的主题上需要教育，尤其是以只有展览提供的直接和生动方式。 广泛意识到潜在气候变化的重要性将导致做出明智的决定，并就这个复杂而严重的问题采取必要的行动。 游客将了解驱动气候变化的力量，温室气体的来源和特性，科学家如何研究气候以及有关全球变暖预测准确性的辩论。 该展览还将着重于全球变暖的潜在环境，社会和经济后果，以及个人和国家可以做出的选择以减少温室气体的排放。 访问者将能够深入探讨这些主题，并将信息与个人经验相结合。 展览将客观地介绍科学数据，清楚地区分已知内容和预测的内容。 美国博物馆和EDF将制作科学研讨会，教育计划和出版物，以向普通访客，学校和媒体提供更大的宣传。 顾问将监视和评估内容和设计，从计划到制造和展示，以确保展览的教育有效性。
