Recommendation
Scientific American contributor Katie Worth spent multiple hours watching hearings, scouring public records and interviewing educators to uncover efforts by oil and gas industry lobbyists to fundamentally change how climate issues are discussed and taught in Texas public schools. Their efforts to alter textbooks and lesson plans, largely successful, could affect how millions of American children understand and respond to climate change.
