It's somewhat scary that, in spite of the growing public concerns about climate change and mass extinctions, the big petrochemical companies are reportedly planning to pour an extra 7 million barrels of oil per day into the markets (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/oct/10/oil-firms-barrels-markets). This is in contrast to the claim that some of these state- or privately-owned companies are actively exploring 'green' alternative energy sources.
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.
