Two recently published books suggest that the public - and school children in particular - are being fed lies about environmental issues such as climate change. The books - "How to Get Expelled from School: A guide to climate change for pupils, parents & punters" by Ian Plimer and "Little Green Lies: An expose of twelve environmental myths" by Jeff Bennett - clearly demonstrate how important it is to have a scientifically literate Australia. The distorted and selectively reported science in these books highlights some of the challenges that Australian teachers face in teaching science, and how important it is that they are supported in this task. |
