The people of Coumayeur on Mont Blanc are fearful that the rapidly deteriorating Planpincieux glacier will fracture, sending an enormous mass of ice on to their hamlet (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/sep/28/courmayeur-you-broke-our-glacier-mont-blanc-resort-climate-frontline). It is clear that they blame the government for not doing enough to ameliorate climate change. One placard says (in French) "You broke our glacier".
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.
