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.

Paris? On S'en Fout!
In 2015, signatories to the Paris Accord, aimed to limit global heating to a maximum of 1.5 degrees Centigrade above pre-Industrial levels. One point five was 'guesstimated' to be the highest 'safe' level of human-mediated climate change, our populations could tolerate. Since that date, French banks have poured more than $150bn into fossil fuel companies. This amount is markedly bigger than any funding given to 'carbon bomb' generators by any other European country (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/oct/31/france-carbon-bomb-projects-banks-fossil-fuels-climate). French banks really don't care about the Paris Accord! Profits are the only game in town.
