Abstract

The disinformation campaign about global climate change, pursued by a few, has influenced many. One of the basic problems is the relatively poor job we in the scientific community have done in educating the public, starting with students, on basic scientific principles. This allows the climate change deniers to persuade many people that climate change is not real, when the science, in fact, is incontrovertible.

Keywords: climate change denial, science, education
