Katie Worth with Third Place Books

Watch the event

Why do more than one-third of young adults believe that climate change is not man-made? In Miseducation, investigative reporter Katie Worth connects the dots between oil corporations, state legislatures, school boards, and textbook publishers, all of whom have learned from our country’s fights over evolution and tobacco, and are playing an active role in the miseducation of American children. Timelier than ever, Miseducation is the alarming story of how climate denialism is being implanted in millions of school children. Katie was in conversation with Glenn Branch, deputy director of the National Center for Science Education.
