The National Center for Science Education, a non-profit formed to support the teaching of evolution in public schools, recently announced the launch of its new initiative aimed at defending the teaching of climate change. Like evolution, climate change is accepted by the scientific community but controversial among the public. As a result, educators trying to teach climate change often are pressured to compromise the scientific and pedagogical integrity of their instruction. But there was no organization specializing in providing advice and support to those facing challenges to climate change education.
With the launching of the initiative, NCSE itself becomes that organization.
