         The "Americans’ Knowledge of Climate Change" report conducted by the Yale Project on Climate Change Communication revealed that while only 10% of American adults feel "well-informed" on the topic of climate change, 75% think that schools should incorporate climate change education into their curricula. And that is just what the NASA Global Climate Change Education project aims to do by providing K-12 educators with the necessary tools and resources to access NASA climate and related Earth systems data. Not only is it imperative that tomorrow's adults understand why and how climate change is happening, but also how it will affect their lives and the lives of the rest of the world.
