Finding My Way

Have been exploring the different avenues of journalism, reading the papers looking on-line. I've discovered that I have an interest in economic journalism, which is something of a shock. Have been looking at the different attitudes to resolving the economic crises, formulating some ideas, there's so much to learn. The world of environmental journalism is also fascinating, again a mountain of study lies ahead before I can write about these issues effectively, hopefully world peace and the climate will have settled by then. Wishful thinking. Just read an article on the 'Acidifaction of the sea' by Frank Pope, he says:

Although warm waters will be the last to suffer, for coral reefs, acidification will be the nail in their coffin. By the time carbon dioxide reaches 560 parts per million — projected to happen around 2050 — corals will be unable to grow their skeletons in 80 per cent of the ocean. As they start to dissolve, all the life they support will disappear with them. It would be the Earth’s sixth mass extinction, according to Charlie Veron.

I'd like to help in some way, so it's off to university.
