Brazil's COP30 has just finished. There's been a mixed response to the final statement. Some folk believe that progress is being made. Others think that vested interests from Russia, Saudi Arabia and a proxy US (it wasn't officially represented), by insisting on extracting the very last residues of coal, oil and gas, have condemned the planet to runaway climate change. The trouble is that there's likely to be nothing like a linear relationship between 'greenhouse gas' emissions and climate change. Tipping points may make reversing the current climate changes very difficult/impossible.
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.
