Climate change is arguably the most significant scientific issue facing the next generation. In order for the world to make appropriate choices for the health of the planet, there needs to be a climate science-literate worldwide population. In this chapter, we examine the state of climate science education around the world, with particular emphasis on the United States. We identify the difficulty in teaching climate science and the social and political challenges that arise from the topic itself. Ultimately, we present real solutions to this education dilemma, and provide a number of resources that climate science educators can readily implement.
