A recent study has found that bigger biomes (say the size of the Amazon rainforest or the Great Barrier reef) breakdown (once breakdown is started) more quickly than smaller ones, when 'tipping points' are reached (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/mar/10/ecosystems-size-of-amazon-rainforest-can-collapse-within-decades). This it suggests that we may have less time than we think to do something serious about reversing climate change.
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.
