A group of scientists have, on the basis of assumed risks (largely associated with President Trump's access to the nuclear button and the impact of climate change), advanced their notional Doomsday clock by half a minute so it now reads 2 minutes to midnight, when total planetary destruction would occur (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/jan/25/doomsday-clock-ticked-forward-trump-nuclear-weapons-climate-change). But, there again, they are only experts and some politicians suggest we should take no notice of such folk.
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.
