WATCH: The GroundTruth Project in partnership with FRONTLINE | PBS and Columbia Global Reports joined with author and GroundTruth alum Katie Worth for a conversation about misinformation and the state of climate change education in the United States.
According to a recent Pew Research Center survey, one-third of young adults in the U.S. believe that climate change is not human-made, and no wonder: That’s what they are taught in school. The virtual conversation explores the climate denialism that is being taught in the classrooms of millions of school kids.
The conversation is part of a wider partnership between these three acclaimed investigative institutions, who came together for the first time to publish Worth's book "MISEDUCATION: How Climate Change Is Taught in America."
