Writing a blog is something that I have never anticipated to do in my
life. This is because I often feel nervous about the perception and
general public view of my ideas and views. Well, one has to start from
somewhere to overcome one’s fears, so here we go again. I am rewriting my
first post as I feel it was not too friendly. I am starting again and hope
everybody reading my blog will enjoy reading it.
Moving on, ‘Rising Sea Levels and Cultural Adaptation’ makes a
great hot topic as rising sea levels and its physical and social consequences are in
the limelight of both scientific research and political interests. The threat
of losing land to the sea due to rising seas have been a threat to the coastal
communities in the past and present, presenting itself as an unavoidable
phenomenon.
The ability and knowledge humans have acquired to migrate,
survive and adapt have enabled humans to exist since early civilisations.
Unfortunately, animals with less adaptation skills have been extinct.
I will be looking at past and present cultural displacements,
adaptations and lost civilisations due to rising sea levels as a consequence of
deglaciation and climate change. In the long run I am planning to look at how
the continents will look on a map in another 200 years to come. Not forgetting
the coastal communities.
So my dear readers, you are all welcome to make comments and
share your opinions on my posts and also share what's on your mind.
