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.

Ambient temperatures, in many places, neared 50 degrees Centigrade. Water reservoirs dried up, Himalayan glaciers melted and crops were damaged. There are ways in which some people can cope. Such conditions can, however, be deadly, especially for poorer people. This 'hellfire April' is a clear illustration that climate change will have its worst effects in locations of the globe with little responsibility for global heating.
