Skepticblog » The “Smoking Guns” of climate denialism


The "effort will focus on providing curriculum that shows that the topic of climate change is controversial and uncertain – two key points that are effective at dissuading teachers from teaching science." 

Not much ambiguity there. Reading the context of the entire quote, it's still clear. There it is in black and white: climate denialism is about preventing teachers from teaching science and focusing on "teach the controversy" and promoting doubt and uncertainty—not doing good science which would show that global warming isn't real. You couldn't ask for a clearer example of the similarity of strategies of the ID creationists and the climate deniers.
