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.

Going For the Dogs
UK charter firm, K9 Jets (get it?) will use private jets to whisk a rich dog owner's pooch between Dubai and London. It will only cost the owner a tad over £8000. Now, it's not only the well-heeled contributing massively to global emissions, it's their pets as well! (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/sep/30/private-jet-service-for-rich-dog-owners-condemned-by-climate-campaigners). How crass is that? Environmentalists are somewhat taken aback. Let's hope no dog fights break out on the journey. They don't always end well for planes.
