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.

With the the Speed of a Constipated Snail?
In recent times, the UK government has been excessively keen to 'big itself up', as a 'world leader' in the fight against climate change. Nothing appears, however, to be further from the truth. The government's own Climate Change Committee have submitted a report revealing that the UK government is missing all its targets in the 'plan' to reach net zero (https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/jun/28/uk-has-made-no-progress-on-climate-plan-say-governments-own-advisers). Those English clearly talk the talk but have never walked the walk. It's dangerous when such 'bullshit rules'. People might be fooled into thinking that something is actually happening!
