Websites Outline
The topical materials can be parsed into websites, so the topical flow of generation is the higher process. The location of the material into a specific website is a matter of how it best fits. The idea of asking questions and covering basic concepts in a educational format is a good range of intent for the climateintro.com website. In my discussion and observations there is a critical point where if my facts are battling with their facts, I probably have lost the change to find their curiosity button. In an introduction phase, it can be presented in a strictly voice 2 summarizing and non-partisan teaching and explaining or summarizing the questions, or concerns some have. This can build confidence in this site and the information, and can lead to more resilience in introducing deeper topic where facts are contrasted and matter a great deal.
The more in depth look into the scientific concepts and areas learned, areas in question would be a good broad range of topics and subtopics for climateilluminated.com. This website is being rebuilt with the process being proposed here. This website would be broad in the science arena, proceeding from higher level subtopic pages written in voice 2, but proceeding at the higher detail level to be a mix between voice 2 and 3. These pages are aimed again at educating the reader and encouraging them to dig deeper. The overall intent is to provide solid arguments for what we do know, what we do not, and the complexity of the climate system. Asking questions that are a bit provocative near the end of each topic progression as to what the reader concludes and would they base what the alarmists are putting for as settled science as a sound argument for the policies being proposed?
There can be also other topical websites. If a good deal of material can be gained on a topic, pages can range over 100 in count, it might be of merit to consider putting the material on its own website. Again it is easy to move material found in a hierarchy to another website code. The summary page would reside in the original website with links that were updated to the new website, or other paths that seem to be of merit. In other words the movement or even the duplication of material could be achieved readily with a uniformed platform and data structure. Material could also occur in different voices.
There would be the need in all of this to have a political/policy website. This website would present a good list of the predictions that have been made and a review of how well they were met. Also the policies like the GND would receive full topical flow manifestation. Leading current events and alarmist statements should be split into topics flows as well. Take the “hockey stick” as an example. It would outline the issues that have been identified with the concept put forth by Mann and a fair amount of material in written and video form as to what is wrong with this theory. Even the history of the HS and M Mann is a good discussion point. The voice of this website would be voice 3and 4. Certainly employing voice 2 at the outset of a topic where possible could be a good strategy, but allowance to progress to voice 4 with heavy Socratic questions, for instnace, along the way.
There might be other websites created along the way. It is important to note that adding website URL does not raise the cost very much. It does however say something about how the code is generated so migration between sites is easily achieved. Having uniform code in the templates but with different CSS files is one way to make the effort of migration or even of duplication quite simple. Anyone wanting to know more should contact the webmaster.
