Scotland’s “Net Zero Nation” indoctrination programme targets teachers and pupils

The Net Zero Nation Public Engagement Strategy for Climate Change is a framework designed by the Scottish Government to engage the people of Scotland in the transition to a “net zero nation.” The strategy, published on 16 September 2021, outlines the Scottish Government’s overarching framework for engaging the public over the subsequent five years.

Key activities and initiatives under the strategy are organised according to the five categories of participation in the Public Participation Spectrum: Inform, Consult, Involve, Collaborate and Empower. These activities are designed to ensure that people are actively involved in turning Scotland into a “Net Zero Nation.”

The level and depth of indoctrination both teachers and pupils are being subjected to under this programme is shocking.  By way of demonstration, Biologyphenom notes some highlights below from a “mid-point review” published last week.

Scotland Net Zero Nation

By Biologyphenom, 3 April 2025

Introduction

In September 2021, the Scottish Government published ‘Net Zero Nation: A Five-Year Public Engagement Strategy for Climate Change’ (“PES”). The PES is structured around three key pillars and the activities delivered are intended to help achieve these strategic objectives:

1. Indoctrinate?
2. Brainwash?
3. Control?

Climate Action Schools

“The Climate Ready Classroom initiative was delivered to 798 young people across 44 schools. This grew to 1,129 pupils by 2020-23 and by 2023-24 over 6,990 pupils participated in the initiative. To date, over 10,500 pupils have taken part in Climate Ready Classrooms Primary or Secondary.”—Climate Change: Public Engagement Strategy: Mid-Point Review, Scottish Government, 3 April 2025, pg. 19

‘‘Investment of at least £425,000 each year in the Climate Action Schools programme, engaging over 1,160 schools annually in understanding and taking environmental action.’’—Climate Change: Public Engagement Strategy: Mid-Point Review, Scottish Government, 3 April 2025, pg. 3

Public Survey

‘‘As shown in the table below, at the time of the publication of the PES, the most up-to-date SHS [Scottish Household Survey] data suggested over two-thirds (68%) of adults in Scotland agreed that climate change is an immediate and urgent problem. In terms of climate action, over half (58%) believed their behaviour and lifestyle contribute to climate change, and almost three-quarters (74%) agreed that they understand the actions they should take to help tackle climate change.’’—Climate Change: Public Engagement Strategy: Mid-Point Review, Scottish Government, 3 April 2025, pg. 7

The Scottish Household’s Survey

The survey asked 10,000 people.  Of those 74% (7,500), which represents 0.14% of the Scottish population, agreed climate change is an urgent problem.

99.86% of Scots werenot asked. And so, are these results indicative of valid consent for 5.5 million people?

Shame not applicable to thinking.

Climate Action Hubs

“Climate anxiety.”

“£700k was distributed in seed funding or via community delivery partners to 425 projects covering a range of themes including climate engagement, climate anxiety among young people, community growing, biodiversity, learning and skill sharing, climate and the arts, green health, and the circular economy.”—Climate Change: Public Engagement Strategy: Mid-Point Review, Scottish Government, 3 April 2025, pg. 32

Conclusions

‘‘Achieving these objectives is imperative if we are to achieve our collective ambition of becoming a Net Zero Nation by 2045 and to successfully adapt to the unavoidable impacts of climate change.’’—Climate Change: Public Engagement Strategy: Mid-Point Review, Scottish Government, 3 April 2025, pg. 41

Thoughts

In my first ever Substack article (very long but fully referenced) you will discover that the most recent “climate and nature crisis” real-world data for Scotland demonstrates:

1. Most of nature is doing well and increasing in abundance.
2. No significant unusual changes in temperatures the last quarter of a century.
3. No unusual changes in annual rainfall totals for nearly 30 years.
4. Record low greenhouse gas emissions.
5. Safest and cleanest air on record.
6. Safest and cleanest water quality on record.
7. Record low deaths from fire.
8. Record low total fires.
9. Record cereal crop yields grown on less land.
10. Any projected increasing temperatures over the next 25 years are likely to contribute a net benefit to Scottish society.

Where exactly is this “crisis” occurring outwith the mouths of politicians and unelected corporations and their associates in the corporate media?

The lack of intelligent debate surrounding this topic in the Scottish Parliament and within our supposedly well-educated institutions is disturbing. Sinister even.

The government should stop now, save a helluva lot of money and spend it on other things with real immediate need like the NHS, housing, public toilets, community halls and sports centres etc., given other countries like the USA have adopted new strategy for combating climate change called “drill baby, drill.”
