The data was retrieved through objective tests on 230 teachers and 573 junior and senior high school students in Lampung Province as one of the most potential black smoke disaster area in Indonesia.

The results showed that students and teachers knowledge about global warming are very low. The students knowledge is higher than the teachers. For students, it was found that an educational level hold the important factors of students’ global warming knowledge, in which secondary school students has better knowledge and experiences relative to the primary students. There is no difference in students' knowledge of global warming caused by gender. There is a correlation between attitude and knowledge about global warming at a senior high school students while in junior high school students there is no correlation. The conclusion there is a difference in students' knowledge about global warming caused by differences in the learning experience but not by gender. There was no difference in knowledge between the teacher caused by field of study, gender, or where they teach.
