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.

Red Oktober
I think we can safely say that the climate change is well underway. It's late October and, for the first time since records began, the waters of the Laptev Sea in the Siberian Arctic, are still free of ice ( https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/oct/22/alarm-as-arctic-sea-ice-not-yet-freezing-at-latest-date-on-record). The fear is that this delay will have 'knock on' effects on the rest of the Arctic. So, more hydrochemical extraction and more melting (along with less solar energy reflected back into space).
