Reply #9: Climate Change denial, anyone? The Environmental Literacy Council

[PA Democrat]

From such a benevolent-sounding organization which purports to provide resources for teacher and students,

"For more than a decade, the Environmental Literacy Council has been dedicated to helping teachers, students, policymakers, and the public find cross-disciplinary resources on the environment. An independent, 501(c)3 organization, the Council offers free background information on common environmental science concepts; vetted resources to broaden understanding; and curricular materials that don't tell teachers how to teach, but give them the tools to augment their own backgrounds - no matter what their current knowledge."

But here is what they say about climate change:


"Despite the evidence that scientists have uncovered related to changes in climate, there continues to be uncertainty around the chief causes of climate change and their potential impacts. These uncertainties stem from the science itself, as well as from human behavior, especially as it relates to the amount of natural climatic variability and greenhouse gas emissions. Many of these factors will continue to depend on human behavior, influenced by effects on health and the quality of life, technological advances, and policy changes."
