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.

Global Heating Doesn't Mean Everywhere Gets Much Hotter All the Time
Here, outside Swansea (Wales), we've had several days of icy conditions. Some folk have predictably started to ask "Where's that global warming, 'experts' are always going on about?". These recent cold conditions, are due to a flow of Arctic air to the South. Anthropogenic global heating, caused by our increased 'greenhouse gas' release, produces climate change, not uniform temperature increase. Typical air and ocean current flows become disrupted. Climate becomes much less predictable. A short local cold spell, doesn't mean that global heating is going away!
