In the introduction to Islam Observed, Clifford Geertz suggests that while anthropologists discover insights in microscopic settings, their value cannot be demonstrated there. That requires engagement with larger conversations. I would add that to participate effectively, we need to invest time and effort in understanding those conversations as well as we do those in which we participate in our ethnographic field sites. I very much like the way in which this piece moves in that direction.

I believe that climate or as anyone would say weather in general, some human beings do not pay attention to weather changes or climate change. I believe to catch a person or persons interest or attention to this important issue in this world many would contradict themselves while trying to care for it. This can go into social dynamics of the world and different countries to know how is there weather in their surroundings. this is interesting to me. There are different obstacles and point of views.
