U.S. Moves Toward Teaching Climate Change; Britain Does the Opposite http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1365433350
New science teaching standards in the United States will include extensive lessons on human-made climate change. Expected to be unveiled this week, the guidelines will bring the subject to classrooms in up to 40 states, in many cases for the first time.
Eighth-grade pupils should understand that "human activities, such as the release of greenhouse gases from burning fossil fuels, are major factors in the current rise in Earth's mean surface temperature (global warming)," according to the Next Generation Science Standards.
The proposed changes are causing some controversy in a country where the acceptance of man-made climate change is a political issue.
