You may want to talk with your child about climate change. His or her teacher may be among the 1 in 3 American middle school and high school teachers bringing climate change denial into the classroom.
Fewer than half of U.S. adults--the lowest percentage among 20 nations polled in 2014--agree with the 95 percent of climate scientists who attribute recent global warming to human causes. The first nationwide survey of climate change education set out to see if there was hope for today's students, who will grow up in a world shaped by climate change. Policy directors from the National Center for Science Education and researchers from the nonpartisan Penn State Survey Research Center who conducted the study were not reassured. Instead, the answers shocked them...
Half of the surveyed teachers have allowed the students to discuss the supposed "controversy" over climate change without guiding students to the scientifically supported conclusion...
Once they have a classroom, teachers should work climate science into their curricula in a more holistic manner, says Berbeco... "Whether they are teaching about energy or ecosystems or the carbon cycle or even health, climate change fits into all of those topics," Berbeco says...
"When today's students grow up, they will live in a world shaped by climate change, and, as citizens, they will need to make choices concerning national policies, local mitigation efforts and so on. It will be critical for them to be informed when considering such things as a carbon tax. That debate will be more democratic if more citizens are informed on the science."

Fixed.
Well done, Christina. You have loaded your article with an impressive amount of nonsense, falsehoods and utter crap. You have the makings of a great propagandist. Keep it up.
Man, the Nazis are everywhere these days.
It's just like Communist science, in the Soviet Union. If it offends the Party apparatus, even if it's correct science, it is deemed incorrect. Until later, when the Party approves it again. The Party controls all.
I am beginning to despise the country I grew up in. Well, what that country became.
I still wonder who took this picture.
The “debate” would be more “democratic” if the students were informed that “climate change” has been occurring since the planet was created. Newsweak’s Princess Popcorn really needs to lighten up. She’s FOS.
Typical leftist. When they are losing the argument, they simply lie.
There have never been 95% of climate scientists that attribute recent global warming to human causes, unless you hand select the sample to make sure of the outcome.
Get the sample small enough, and you can create the false result shown above.
These people would be pathetic if they were not so dangerous.
Science that’s corrupted by politics can be confusing if you try to think through it.
Let’s talk climate change 40,000 years ago. As oceans warmed, guess what? They released CO2. Seems CO2 is more soluble in cold water than warm water. A Science article recently asked the question which came first, rising CO2 levels or the ocean warming due to natural phenomena.
The all caps makes it true.
My sister-in-law teaches science to 6th and 7th graders in a private school. She doesn’t bother with climate change.
I’m fed up with what this country has become too.
In the actual scientific world, following the actual Scientific Method, nothing is certain until it becomes a Law. We still debate the nature of gravity and viruses and a million other things... and yet the Left demands, without debate, that we accept their interpretation of exactly what Nature wanted the temperature to be on a daily basis... and if you disagree, you must be punished.
Whenever a "scientist" tells you that you may not disagree with his hypothesis, you can rest assured that you are talking to a charlatan.
I love Progressive Darwinism.
Since climate change is settled science, Australia has fired
100 of its climatologists. No need to study what has already been proven.
Newsweek’s all-caps, not mine. Posting from my phone and to lazy to change.
You may want to talk with your child about climate change. His or her teacher may be among the 1 2 in 3 American middle school and high school teachers bringing brainwashing their students into the climate change religion denial into the classroom.
Fixed it.
:: It will be critical for them to be informed when considering such things as a ^^carbon tax^^ ::
And, THERE, you have it!
Americans are embracing communism just as fast as the Russians shed it, it seems.
