Authors told to remove references to “climate change” must be removed from science books before they could be accepted for use in Florida ’s public schools, authors say.
One textbook had to add citations to back up statements that “human activity” caused climate change and cut a “political statement” urging governments to take action to stop climate change.
The actions fall in line with views of many GOP leaders, who question the existence of climate change, despite a broad scientific consensus that human-caused climate change is transforming the earth 's environment.
The state’s push to get publishers to remove “climate change” from some science books seems similar to its actions in 2022 and 2023 when it rejected some math and social studies textbooks publishers wanted to sell in Florida .
In those cases, the department announced it had rejected textbooks in press releases that claimed the books contained “critical race theory” and “social justice” topics.
Some of those textbooks were later approved after the publishers made changes.
