Governments and large companies sometimes seem to treat countering climate change as an optional extra. One has to be impressed that some young people (in schools and colleges) are now strongly making their views on this issue known- including travelling to the Davos 'rich fest' (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/jan/24/school-strikes-over-climate-change-continue-to-snowball). As they rightly point out, they might well be lumbered with an uninhabitable planet if the 'adults' don't get their act together and become a little less obsessed by 'profits' (you can't spend much when you have destroyed everything).
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.
