Students and teachers need skeptical science and we plan to deliver it.
There are many on-line sources of alarmist climate change education materials but none for the realistic skeptical view. A recent poll says that many teachers want to teach about the real climate debate, not just the alarmist side. But skeptical teaching materials are scarce, so we propose to build a climate change debate education website, with your help.

Just a sample
Note: EPA's vast array of alarmist edu content is still there. Officially, EPA's climate change material has been withdrawn, but it is still readily available from the EPA website, as follows. EPA's main education page is still there -- "Lesson Plans, Teacher Guides and Online Resources for Educators."

On this page there are links to various topics. There is a specific button for "Climate Change" which still works. Using it to go to the EPA climate change education website one finds this notice:
"Thank you for your interest in this topic. We are currently updating our website to reflect EPA's priorities under the leadership of President Trump and Administrator Pruitt. If you're looking for an archived version of this page, you can find it on the January 19 snapshot [link]." Clicking on the snapshot link takes one to this page:
https://19january2017snapshot.epa.gov/climatechange_.html
It has a banner saying: "This is not the current EPA website. To navigate to the current EPA website, please go to www.epa.gov. This website is historical material reflecting the EPA website as it existed on January 19, 2017. This website is no longer updated and links to external websites and some internal pages may not work."
But this page leads to an extensive website full of alarmist teaching materials, which are still readily available and easy to find.
