Science suggests that, even if the proposed limits on climate change are met (a very big if), sea level rises will continue to cause misery in many parts of the globe well into the 2300s (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/nov/06/sea-level-rise-centuries-climate-crisis). This consequence of 'global warming' will reduce the land surface (making food production problematic) as well as inundating many important cities (humans tend to build them on the current coasts because such locations have a lesser ambient temperature variation than more inland sites).
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.
