Science education group expands mission from evolution to include global warming [hoax]

The National Center for Science Education, a stalwart ally of evolutionary science and opponent of intelligent design creationism, is entering the global warming controversy.

I invite readers of this blog post to discuss the issue in the comments -- viewpoints pro, con and mixed are welcomed.

The NCSE will soon bring on a staff member to specialize in defend the theory of man-caused global warming, said Eugenie C. Scott, its executive director. Scott, a doughty fighter against intelligent design creationism, spoke at the National Association of Biology Teachers' meeting in Anaheim on Saturday.

Scott said there was an unfilled "niche" in defending the theory of man-man global warming in science education.

"Next month, in November, we will be announcing the hiring of our first climate scientist, and we will be doing our best to fill this niche for you," Scott told the audience of several hundred science educators.

Scott's talk explicitly linked rejection of evolution to what she called "denialism" of global warming. It's in the title: "Deja vu all over again: Denialism of climate change and evolution."

Scott recommended several Web sites for further information on evolution and global warming. For the latter, she recommended Real Climate and Skeptical Science. She did not recommend any global warming skeptic sites.
