Experts have claimed that we only have a very limited time (less than 5 years?) to curb the effects of 'greenhouse gas' emissions to an extent that limits the average global temperature increase to the 1.5 degrees Centigrade rise agreed at the Paris summit (and this was very much a 'guesstimate'). After that, our fate could well be sealed by the effectiveness of as yet unproven technologies such as carbon capture (https://www.seeker.com/earth/climate/humanity-shouldnt-rely-on-negative-emissions-technology-to-curb-climate-change).
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.
