Document Summary
Mapping climate change: last week"s review, orientalism- framework, edward syed and his study of the orient, the sundarbans. Specific landscape: char land: surrounded by waters of an ocean, sea, lake or stream. Accretion in a river course or estuary. Global warming: refers to the warming of the planet, since 1880, the average surface temperature has gone up by 0. 8 degrees celsius: can be mapped. Climate change: encompasses global warming, but refers to broader range of changes that are happening to the earth. Includes rising sea levels, shrinking glaciers, ice melt in arctic and greenland, also shifting flower/ plant blooming times: climate change cannot be mapped, too complicated and only predictable. Temperatures began to rise in 1980 and the creation of oil industry, caused a shift in industrial production. Fossil fuels also caused temperature rising, due to being underground remains of plants and animals from millions of years ago and are used to process and combust energy.
