It is obvious that the contributions of different groups of people to the release of greenhouse gases varies considerably but the calculation by Oxfam and people in the UK take on average only 2 weeks to reach the annual levels of Africans in Rwanda is very striking (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/jan/05/britain-annual-carbon-emissions-overtake-africa-two-weeks-oxfam). I suspect that this may be an under-estimate that is bound to get worse if commercial space flights take off.
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.
