From an open source science journal:
Glaciers are rapidly retreating worldwide duto anthropogenic climate change, with severe implications not only for ecosystems and water security but also for cultural memory, emotional wellbeing, and environmental justice. In the Andes, glaciers are more than reservoirs of ice—they are living beings within Indigenous cosmologies, ancestral knowledge systems, and everyday life. This essay explores the cultural, emotional, and symbolic dimensions of glacial loss, focusing on Andean communities who view glaciers as sacred entities..
Glaciers as more-than-human beings
Is it that hard for an editor to say, "Yes, I understand that indigenous cultures have strong mythological beliefs about glacierz but that does mean we mistake that for science. Find whatever journal Carlos Castaneda editing now for this article."
"due to anthropogenic climate change"
ReplyDeleteThat "anthropogenic" part has never been proven and the evidence is against it. That "journal" is outright lying.
I recall reading some 20-30 years ago that Carlos Castaneda made up the old man he learned so much from, somewhat like Dan Brown and others tried to pitch their conspiracy books as historic facts, or a woman who wrote a book about a fictional assassin, which in the interest of more people picking it up and carrying it to the cashier, her publisher recommended it be edited to look and sound like a "How-to" manual.
ReplyDeleteYes. There was discussion of revoking his Ph.D.
