NSTA supports environmental education, including climate science, climate change, and the nature of its impacts, as a way to instill environmental literacy in students. Student knowledge of environmental concepts establishes a foundation for their future understandings and actions as citizens.

Although most scientists agree that climate change is occurring (Global Warming’s Six Americas in May 2011, Yale Project on Climate Change Communication), whether or not global warming/climate change results from human activities is a controversial issue which has been rigorously debated in public forums and in the media.
