Perhaps this claim accounts for the UK government's apparent antipathy to wind farms/ solar panels and it's enthusiasm for fracking (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/jan/23/uk-has-biggest-fossil-fuel-subsidies-in-the-eu-finds-commission ). I must admit that I had thought we were a bit more enlightened (given the actuality of climate change and repeated claims of the country being on track to an acceptable reduction in the generation of 'greenhouse gases'), than to be claiming top spot in the provision of subsidies for fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas) in the EU. It almost make the Prince William/ David Attenborough show at Davos seem like the pronouncements of a different country.
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.
