BBC Bitesize And Net Zero: When A Lesson Becomes A Campaign
A BBC Bitesize net zero lesson tells 11 to 14-year-olds they “may need to fly less, eat less meat” and asks if they could petition the council. Is that a lesson or a campaign?

The Climate Con movement is leading the way in the education of the nation on the truth about CO2. Because when enough people understand the truth about CO2 and why we want more of it, nobody will accept any lowering of living conditions just to lower CO2 emissions.

Satellites show a quarter to half of Earth’s vegetated land has greened since the early 1980s, and models put most of it down to CO₂. Why is this never on the news?

Trees once grew where Alpine glaciers sit today, with far less CO₂ in the air. Climate has always changed, so why is that left out of the story?

We’ve warmed faster before and nature survived just fine. Modern warming should be welcomed!

There is no climate crisis but there is a crisis of evil and stupid working together to destroy the UK in slow motion

It’s almost hard to believe but the data is showing a clear increase in sunshine hours
