In Texas, the State is removing climate change courses from the core curriculum. They have decided that climate change is just too dangerous to teach the students. This is indoctrination. I wrote an oped about it in the SA Express-News. Gift link: www.expressnews.com/opinion/comm...

Counterpoint: no they don’t. University administrators, academic advisors, faculty in STEM departments, boards of trustees, state funding bodies, employers, etc. are the ones who “need to do more.” “The Humanities” (whatever that means) is already doing the absolute most.

Tellus has a long, storied history. I submitted my first paper there 30 years ago for that reason. I'm excited about Tellus's rebirth and plan to submit my next paper on the Arctic Ocean carbon cycle there. In the age of money-grubbing publishers, I encourage you to consider Tellus.
Publication Fees
Starting in 2026, Tellus operates as a Diamond Open Access journal.
All articles are published Open Access with no fees for authors — no submission charges and no article processing charges (APCs).
This model is made possible through financial support from the Max Planck Digital Library (MPDL), the International Meteorological Institute (IMI), and the Bolin Centre for Climate Research, which together cover the journal's publication costs.
