NCSE Deputy Director Glenn Branch discussed the ongoing challenges for climate change education in a ten-minute video posted on the YouTube channel The Wonderful Truth (August 13, 2024). Beginning by describing the recent censorship of climate change in Florida's science textbooks, Branch pivoted to discuss "Climate change education in U.S. middle schools: Changes over five pivotal years," a recent publication from NCSE's Investigating Science Education program that documented promising improvements in middle school climate education. "It is certainly encouraging that when pollsters ask people whether they support schools teaching about the causes, consequences, and potential solutions to global warming, about three in four of them say that they strongly or somewhat support it," Branch concluded. "That's true even in Florida."
