We're helping teachers educate students about climate change. You can too! Join us in sending The Teacher-Friendly Guide™ to Climate Change to every public high school science teacher in the US free of charge. |
Welcome to Year 2 of the Teach Climate Science project! Climate change is the greatest human challenge of the 21st century. Scientists overwhelmingly agree that atmospheric pollutants are causing Earth's climate to warm at an unprecedented rate. The effects are already visible at both local and global scales.
In our first year we sent The Teacher-Friendly Guide™ to Climate Change to 50,000 high school science teachers. This year we will expand our effort to include teachers in all the Atlantic and Gulf Coast states - AND - we are working on a Spanish language edition of The Teacher-Friendly Guide. Please join us!

This is an all-hands-on-deck moment for global climate. The most effective way to increase understanding nationwide is to support the nation's classroom teachers with outstanding resources. The Paleontological Research Institution (PRI), of Ithaca New York, is uniquely positioned to inform the national debate on climate change with our recently-published Teacher-Friendly Guide to Climate Change - written by PRI staff with input from IPCC lead authors and leading climate scientists. This book is intended to provide professional development support for high school science teachers, based on the best available climate change science.

TFG TO CLIMATE CHANGE is
written for teachers – and anyone – who could benefit from a “teacher-friendly”
resource that includes both the basics of climate change science and
perspectives on teaching a subject that has become socially and politically
polarized. Climate change is a scientific issue, but it is also a historical,
social, psychological, and economic issue that can only be deeply understood
through mathematics, language and art.
Help us put The Teacher-Friendly Guide to Climate Change in the hands of every public high school science teacher in the US.
The Paleontological Research Institution is a 501c3 nonprofit organization. Our EIN is 15-0554849. Your donation may be tax deductible. Please consult your tax advisor.
