It seems that the lack of sea ice is preventing Polar bears from feeding over a large part of their range (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/sep/29/polar-bears-arctic-sea-ice-environment). Perhaps the loss of these creatures in the wild is progressing much faster than anyone anticipated? Having decades to reverse or contain climate change may be something we haven't got?
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.
