We have developed educational materials to help create a Climate Science literate public. The mission of eCLEAR is educating towards Climate Literacy through Literature Evaluation, Data Analysis, and Reporting. Evaluation of literature is critical to a complete understanding of any topic and our tools start with literature evaluation. The focus of this talk is the development of activities and a decision guide that helps learners evaluate sources of information. The specific examples in this presentation are appropriate for high school and college as well as the policy-maker level. Students, educators, and civil society need to understand the data, trends, consequences, opportunities, and necessary steps to mitigate and adapt to climate change. The eCLEAR activities will engage individuals as they evaluate resources, make a claim, and then analyze the evidence to support their reasoning. Our goal is to supply tools and a knowledge base for the audience to engage in informed discussions concerning climate change.

eCLEAR, climate science literacy tools for all
