Italian Education Minister Lorenzo Fioramonti [pictured] has announced that Italy will be the first country in the world to make the study of climate change mandatory in public schools.
Fioramonti made the announcement during a culture committee of the Italian Senate this week.
“Next year Italy will be the first country in the world where the study of climate change and sustainable development will be mandatory,” he said, in comments reported by La Repubblica.
According to the minister, “all schools will dedicate 33 hours a year, about an hour a week, to issues related to climate change,” adding, “many traditional subjects, such as geography, mathematics, and physics, will be studied in a new perspective linked to sustainable development.”
“The entire ministry is changing so that sustainability and climate are at the center of the educational model,” he said.
The new Italian budget tabled by the leftist coalition of the Five star Movement and the Democratic Party (PD) will also look to increase places to hire around 24,000 temporary workers in the education sector by the end of September of next year.
The budget has been a source of contention within the unpopular coalition government and was recently revealed to be giving handicapped Italians less money per day than newly arrived migrants.
According to the figures, handicapped Italians will receive a mere 54 cents per day compared to the twenty euros migrants receive.
The Italian move to make climate change studies mandatory comes after Swedish teen Greta Thunberg popularised a movement to take children out of school one day per week to protest climate change.
Whether or not the policy will be properly implemented is also up for question as the relationship between the Five Stars and the PD remains rocky following both parties’ massive regional election loss in Umbria to the center-right coalition led by Matteo Salvini.

Hope they study the relative radiation absorbing potential between ppm level CO2 and percentage levels of water (another greenhouse gas in the atmosphere). It would be quite surprising if they did.
Hope they study the carbon cycle, and how plants use CO2 as the primary nutrient for life.
Future generations will laugh at our collective scientific ignorance about the CO2 scare just as we do to those who thought the earth was flat, and the sun rotated around the earth.
I trust that ravioli will be making the kids study the weather reports also – from around the world – like in Toronto on Monday afternoon when 5+cm of snow is coming followed by a deep freeze for the rest of the week (oh but that’s weather – ya well it ain’t warm weather)
I would totally support this initiative, except for being quite certain that truthful science will not be included in the coursework. Very likely the history of climate presented will not dealve any further back than about 200 years, when 15,000 years at minimum should be provided to give students a suitable perspective. 65 to 200 millions years of climate survey would be fabulous, but these pinheads in Europe probably consider that any number greater than 1,000 is incomprehensible.
The weather has been manipulated at least since the 50’s, by technologies such as Haarp and Chemtrails. “1976 United Nations Weather Weapons Treaty”.
Senator Claiborne Pell, Senate Intelligence Committee USA/USSR, 1978:
– “Now that we control the weather, create earthquakes and tidal waves and, use it as a weapon of war, we do not need a treaty.”
William Cohen, former secretary of defense of the Clinton Administration, “Conference on Terrorism, Weapons of Mass Destruction and US Strategy”, 1977:
– “Others are engaging even in an eco-type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set of earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves…so there are plenty of ingenious minds out there that are at work finding ways in which they can wreak terror upon other nations…It’s real, and that’s the reason why we have to intensify our efforts [counter-terrorism].”
Zbigniew Brzezinsky, Jimmy Carter’s National Security Advisor, quoted by Chossudovsky, “The Elephant in the Room at Copenhagen: Washington’s New World Order Weapons Have the ability to trigger climate change”:
– “The emerging techniques of weather modification could be employed to produce prolonged periods of drought or storm.”
James Schlesinger, US Secretary of Defence informing ‘the Pell Committee”, 1974:
– “There is reason to argue for the use of localized weather modification where possible, as a humane replacement for modern weaponry.” – (so instead of killing people with weapons, freak ‘natural disasters’ are created)
United Nations, “Convention on the Prohibition of Military or Any Other Hostile Use of Environmental Modification Techniques”, Convention May 1977, Geneva, Article 2:
– “It is the understanding of the Committee that the following examples are illustrative of phenomena that could be caused by the use of environmental modification techniques as defined in Article II of the Convention: earthquakes, tsunamis; an upset in the ecological balance of a region; changes in weather patterns (clouds, precipitation, cyclones of various types and tornadic storms); changes in climate patterns; changes in ocean currents; changes in the state of the ozone layer and changes in the state of the ionosphere.” – (so here we see that it’s not our CO2 emissions which are damaging the ozone layer – it’s chemtrails and Haarp)
– “The term ‘environmental modification techniques’ refer to any technique for changing – through the deliberate manipulation of natural processes – the dynamics, composition or structure of the earth, including its biota, lithosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere, or of outer space.”
Prof. Michel Chossudovsky, economist, “The Elephant in the Room at Copenhagen: Washington’s New World Order Weapons Have the ability to trigger climate change:
-”The US Air Force has the capability of manipulating climate either for testing purposes or for outright military-intelligence use. These capabilities extend to the triggering of floods, hurricanes, droughts and earthquakes. In recent years, large amounts of money have been allocated by the US Department of Defense to further developing these capabilities. Ironically, the Pentagon, while recognizing its ability to modify the world’s climate for military use, has joined the global warming consensus.”
US Air Force Document, “AF 2025 Final Report”:
– “Weather modification offers the war fighter a wide range of possible options to defeat or coerce an adversary and, extend to the triggering of floods, hurricanes, droughts and earthquakes. Weather modification will become a part of domestic and international security and could be done unilaterally…It could have defensive and offensive applications and even be used for deterrence purposes. The ability to generate precipitation, fog, and storms on earth to modify space weather,…and the production of artificial weather all are a part of an integrated set of technologies which can provide substantial increase in us, or degraded capability in an adversary, to achieve global awareness, reach and power.”
International Committee of the Red Cross, “Conference of Government Experts on the Use of Certain Conventional Weapons”, Lucerne, Geneva, 18th October, 1974:
– “The expert who put forward the subject of geophysical warfare for consideration stated that it included such activities as the modification of weather or climate and the causing of earthquakes. He stated that man already possessed the ability to bring about on a limited scale certain geophysical changes for which military applications were conceivable. In his view these would inevitable be indiscriminate, and could give rise to unforeseeable environmental changes of prolonged duration.”
T. J. Coles, “Weather Weapons: The Dark World of Environmental Warfare”, pag. 4:
– “Coupled with the Pentagon’s commitment to achieve Full Spectrum Dominance by 2020, the fact that the MOD and the US Air Force had the capability to destroy an entire village with 90 million tonnes of rainfall as far back as the 1950’s, means we must take seriously the possibility that weather weaponisation is being used, under the cover of anthropogenic global warming (which is no doubt happening, but provides the perfect cover for freak weather events). The US Air Force 2025 think-tank stated in a long-term study that weather weaponisation ‘provides opportunities to impact operations across the full spectrum of conflict and is pertinent to all possible futures. The Air Force is counting on the fact that some segments of society will always be reluctant to examine controversial issues such as weather modification.”
