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.

Climate Change Has Spoilt the Weather For Me!
I appreciate only too well that a single event doesn't mean a trend (as we say "One swallow doesn't make a Spring"). But I, like many Brits, used to glorify in our weather. You could, sometimes, have all four seasons in a single day and weather was the 'go-to topic' for small talk. I now find, however, that I can't experience a gloriously warm and sunny day without pondering on climate change. Is it the start of a trend and does it mean we have passed a tipping point? The atypical used to be fun, now it's (possibly) scary!
