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.

World Leader?
The first Chair of the UK's Committee on Climate Change says the political decision to open a new Cumbrian (Northern England) coalmine was profoundly unhelpful (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/nov/16/allowing-cumbria-coalmine-was-disaster-for-climate-diplomacy-says-lord-turner). The Cumbrian coalmine has been used as an excuse for pressing ahead with fossil fuel developments by both China and India. If self-appointed 'climate-leader' UK can open a coalmine, so can they (in spades, as they say). It's also given the green light to creating more coal-powered electricity generation. It shows how a bad example can escalate.
