Education for Sustainable Development (ESD)
"In 2009, Learning and Teaching Scotland, the lead agency responsible for the school curriculum in Scotland, launched the experiences and outcomes relating to the new curriculum entitled Curriculum for Excellence. This new curriculum represents the biggest transformation in Scottish education ever to take place. Global citizenship, including education for sustainable development, is formally embedded within the experiences and outcomes of the curriculum and schools are being encouraged to adopt a whole school approach to these issues..."
"Climate change is a particularly strong driver of ESD at present, likely as a result of the government`s increased engagement in climate change-related matters, which includes establishment of a dedicated government department, and a national media campaign on carbon reduction, but also due to increased engagement of the non-governmental organisation (NGO) sector and grassroots actors on climate change."
"In Scotland, a separate Climate Change (Scotland) Act was passed in 2009 and the Scottish Government published a Climate Change Delivery Plan, which called for a progressive sustainable development agenda that included full decarbonisation of road transport by 2050."

It is the reason why there has been the biggest dumbing down of children in Scottish education ever.

Decarbonisation
"Householders across the country will be horrified to learn that, over the next decade or two, the Government plans to phase out all our gas-fired cookers and heating systems —forcing us to replace them at a cost of untold billions."
"This particular piece of legislative folly was pushed through Parliament six years ago by Ed Miliband, as our first ever Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, and decreed that Britain must cut its emissions of carbon dioxide from fossil fuels by a staggering 80 per cent within 35 years."
"When this Act passed almost unanimously through Parliament in 2008, not a single MP, let alone Mr Miliband, had the faintest idea how we could actually meet such an improbable target."
"This landed officials of the Department of Energy and Climate Change with the virtually impossible task of working out how we could meet our legal obligation — short of closing down virtually all our fossil-fuel-dependent economy."
"What they came up with was set out in a 244-page document entitled ‘2050 Pathways Analysis’, which explains how they imagine we might achieve what they call the ‘de-carbonisation’ of Britain."

It is not often we hear a politician speaking out against Agenda 21 but here is Ann Bressington. She notes how `climate change` is being used as the rallying point to bring in the transformational change that is Agenda 21.
Decarbonisation will be responsible for decimating industry, but there is more. If we want to feed the world, locking up atmospheric carbon dioxide so that it is unavailable for plant growth, is madness. See the link below which provides many examples of the benefits of carbon dioxide to plants.
Of course, Education for Sustainable Development has nothing to say about this.
