ABSTRACT
In this paper, mathematics is used for describing, predicting and communicating
climate change. We used the perspective of critical mathematics education to examine how mathematics is constructed in reporting climate change. We took into consideration the importance of mathematical modelling. Our discussion is referenced by a newspaper report and a policy document. In ourargument, human mathematical activity and the role of human activity in causing climate change are all largely invisible.  Mathematics education has an important role to play in making the invisible visible.
