An expert Committee on Climate Change has suggested, that if the UK wants to meet its emission targets, old-fashioned gas boilers will have to be banned from new-build homes (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/feb/21/ban-new-gas-boilers-by-2025-says-committee-on-climate-change). We will clearly need to use new methods of heating homes and cooking. This will, no doubt, increase costs for such homes.
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.
