It can't be right that employees of the State of Florida have reportedly been banned from using the terms 'climate change' and 'global warming' (http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/mar/08/florida-banned-terms-climate-change-global-warming). It is especially worrying that the State Governor, Jeb Bush, is said to be thinking of making a tilt for the Presidency of the US. I believe that the Bush family largely made their fortune with hydrocarbons. Low-lying Florida is especially at risk from climate extremes. If they can be convinced that this is a good idea, one immediately thinks of turkeys and Christmas.
This blog may help people explore some of the 'hidden' issues involved in certain media treatments of environmental and scientific issues. Using personal digital images, it's also intended to emphasise seasonal (and other) changes in natural history of the Swansea (South Wales) area. The material should help participants in field-based modules and people generally interested in the natural world. The views are wholly those of the author.
