Textbooks are often deemed authoritative sources of information necessary for education. These learning materials include the latest scientific findings to reflect societal changes and show how knowledge has grown over time. They play a critical role in how educators tackle certain topics to educate their students in classroom settings.
Since curricular content has been shown to influence students’ knowledge of environmental issues, it’s essential to analyze how textbooks frame and discuss the pressing issue of climate change.
But, as it turns out, climate change coverage hasn’t changed drastically in science textbooks over the last 50 years, despite how much scientists have learned about the phenomena currently affecting and will continue to affect the entire planet.
Overall, it’s necessary to improve climate change coverage in textbooks so that students can understand how environmental issues shape everyday life as they know it. But at the very least, says Henderson, textbook authors and publishers should have a background in climate change science.
“Creating instructional materials is a very complex and difficult job; we’re certain that there’s no intention to underrepresent environmental issues,” says Landin. “We hope this study will help authors and publishers in the future. The easiest approach is to review the balance of topics and the expertise of authors of introductory biology materials.”

If at first you don’t succeed, lie lie some more.
The textbooks are fine.
What’ not fine is the insane leftist climate alarmist religion that’s trying to force their BS down everyone else’s throat.
They can take their “fake science” and their EVs and shove em right straight up their gay little arses....sideways.
Libs destroy everything they touch....EVERYTHING. They’ve gone waaaay past their “usefulness date”. The time has come to just dump these insane POSs.
These “books” they speak of....made of trees I assume. Just horrible.
With the increasing popularity of cremation, the mass die-off of humans will produce lots of CO2.
“Environmental Studies” and “Environmental ‘Engineering’” —> Don’t build anything, anywhere, at any time.
Revamp textbooks to push that party line.
Today in Georgia I believe it
“Textbooks are often deemed authoritative sources of information necessary for education.”
Since when? Textbooks are often selected because they comply with the selection committee’s consensus on subject matter, price, and state guidelines. That line should read, “Textbooks are often deemed authoritative sources of information necessary for passing tests.”
Popular Pseudo-science.
Haha. All the emphasis on gender dysphoria has taken critical time away from explaining why they should thank global warming for more snow days.
We need to scare poor kids more!
Climate hysteria for the last fifty years:

When predictions are wrong over and over and over again, double down—science yo!

Yup.
Three days ago I opened the front door, and the sunlight shining on
my feet burned the skin of both my ankles - even though I was
wearing hiking boots.
And yesterday morning the sun rose - and I went temporarily blind until lunchtime.
And last night the puddles froze in the gutters of the street.
I don't think I can take much more of this horror show...

Textbooks never keep up. That’s why there is a used market.
The undisclosed reality behind our climate crunch!
We are nowhere near a world in which we can live without fossil fuels, but Biden is at war with US energy!

Biden’s climate czars want to fly private, live like kings, while you shiver in the cold!

From the late 1920s until the 1960s, they warned of global warming.
From the 1950s until the 1970s, they warned us again of a coming ice age.
Since then, we are having Gorebull Warming killing us and destroying Mother Earth.
PS Another hijacked publication. The left picks their targets and sends the tanks in. We are left to tread water in a sea of BS
Our family enjoyed Pop Science way back when. Always good science and technology. Stopped subscribing and reading (sometimes see it on a table at Drs.’ office). when they jumped on the Global Warming train.
I wouldn’t use it to start the wood, cardboard, and paper fire I’m about to have now. Go Woke, lose customers. Ho Ho Ho.
