"The association urged science teachers at all levels to emphasize that 'no scientific controversy exists regarding the basic facts of climate change.'"

"In response to what it sees as increasing efforts to undermine the teaching of climate science, the nation's largest science teachers association took the unusual step Thursday of issuing a formal position statement in support of climate science education.

In its position statement, the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) calls on science teachers from kindergarten through high school to emphasize to students that "no scientific controversy exists regarding the basic facts of climate change."

"Given the solid scientific foundation on which climate change science rests, any controversies regarding climate change and human-caused contributions to climate change that are based on social, economic, or political arguments—rather than scientific arguments—should not be part of a science curriculum," it says."
