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.

Having Your Cake...?
I'm not 'armed with a cake'. A man in Paris' Louvre museum, however, clearly was. He was disguised as an elderly woman. But leapt out of a wheelchair and attempted to smear the famous Mona Lisa portrait with gateaux (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/may/30/mona-lisa-smeared-cake-suspected-climate-protester). It's been claimed that the cake-smear attempt was 'an apparent climate-related publicity stunt'. Fortunately, the painting (behind glass) was completely unharmed. Let's hope, in the future, we will be able to say the same about our planet!
