Anticipated start date is mid-September About NCSE:    FAQ    Video: NCSE and climate change Examples of NCSE's work in evolution science education Director and Staff speak on Climate Change: AGU 2009 Eugenie C. Scott, Ph.D.-- Speaking July 15: Deja vu all over again: Denialism of C.C. & evolution Speaking October 30, 2011 at National Association of Biology Teachers ClimateChangeEducation.org welcomes NCSE to the field of climate change science education. NCSE: a national leader for decades in advancing evolution science education in US schools. NCSE has recently entered the field of climate change science. We provide these links especially to serve as an aid for veterans of climate change education. This, for those interested in becoming more familiar with NCSE work and track record.

These may be an indicator of NCSE's scope and focus in the years ahead. We look forward to discussion with NCSE staff in the coming weeks to learn more. NCSE articles & resources related to climate change & global warming Video: Creationism vs. Evolution...and Global Warming: An update [only last 20% on GW] The focus is on creationists who are actively working to block the teaching of evolution in schools raising similar arguments about the teaching of climate change science in US schools. Video: Is There a Need for "Climate N.C.S.E."? How to Humanize Knowledge, or CSI: Evolution & Climate Change by Kevin Armitage -- 2011 Evolution, climate change, plate tectonics, and string theory -- Sept. 2008 From Evolution to Global Warming? -- May 2010 "Science deniers, creationists, and their fellow travelers aren't just targeting evolution. Now they're turning their sights on global warming. Proof positive? The South Dakota legislature has passed House Concurrent Resolution 1009, which encourages teachers to present 'balanced teaching' on global warming. The state senate has passed a similar resolution." Article in Science Progress by NCSE staff member Joshua Rosenau: Climate Change Preps for Its Scopes Trial State Legislatures Take Up the Assault on Science -- Feb 2010 "Legislators in South Dakota seem bent on becoming anti-science pioneers. After a century of anti-evolution policies and legislation across the United States, the South Dakota legislature is set to become the only one in the nation to micromanage what teachers should say about global warming." Notes Rosenau: "Science is not and should not be resolved through the legislative process, and the details of what teachers present as science should not be dictated by legislators with no experience as scientists or teachers." Joshua Rosenau quoted in Wired Magazine article -- Feb. 2010 New Mexico Bill Seeks to Protect Anti-Science Education
