Climate change should absolutely be taught in social studies classrooms because it is a social issue! Historical causes of climate change are a part of social studies curriculum and it is important to bridge together past actions with current issues. I also agree with Adriane Musacchio about the importance of climate action. Teaching in the 21st century should include lessons on civic engagement, policymaking, global issues, and local action. Climate change encompasses all of these.
