The UN has apparently predicted that sea temperatures will be higher this year, with or without an El Nino event (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/mar/02/un-above-average-temperatures-without-el-nino). This basically confirms that the human impact on global temperatures and weather patterns is stronger than the regular fluctuations one has seen in established patterns. A warmer sea means warmer land, coupled with droughts and floods.
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.
