Episode 73 – NCSE Now Defending Climate Change Education
Dr. Eugenie Scott
As science educators are increasingly reporting attacks on climate change education, the National Center for Science Education (NCSE) is announcing that they will also be defending climate change science in public school science education. Join us as Dr. Eugenie Scott explains this new initiative for NCSE by adding climate change to their portfolio in defending good science education.

I am really happy that NCSE has gotten into defending climate science because it is almost under as much attack as evolutionary biology. Making sure students are taught good science in the field of climate will also, hopefully, improve future political policy decisions made by these future leaders.
I joined the national science teachers association not a partisan political organization.
