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.

Can the Cosy Consensus?
Ed Milliband thinks there is a danger of a cosy consensus becoming the prevailing characteristic of the COP26 talks in Glasgow (https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2021/mar/29/last-thing-we-need-is-a-cosy-consensus-on-climate-crisis-warns-ed-miliband). Milliband believes the COP26 event could be largely treated as a photo opportunity, where delegates waffle on about their aspirations for 2030 or 2050. He points out that, the actions required to stop global warming are 'terrifying and exacting'. We need substantial world-wide changes and we need them now. I agree. Otherwise, we are, to recoin a phrase, 'Simply rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic'.
