If climate scientists, artists, and activists used a more-than-human conceptual framework in thinking about the Third Pole, they would be able to see more perspectives rather than just scientific or surface-level background about the climate change situation. Specifically, this framework would help them to see the rivers not just as statistics, but also as agents that have many different faces and values outside of human-imposed values. The uncanny and improbable natural events that occur, as described by Ghosh, are probably better understood using a more-than-human and multipolar perspective. Instead of just reiterating the strangeness of an uncommon phenomenon, these groups could then think more critically about what nature is actually doing and if it is strange at all. In terms of the rivers, the culture and livelihoods that stem from the rivers and perpetuate within the rivers are not always shown in a scientific view. Singh’s chapter emphasized the importance of teaching outside of just science, especially because that by itself could be detrimental to the overall understanding of nature and climate change. I agree that students must learn from nature itself. Without doing that, I think, is what creates the uncanny feeling when being suddenly confronted with uncommon natural events. However, one without the other is not conducive to anything, so both disciplines are necessary to fully learn about nature. I was really struck by America’s reaction to Antarctica and the inherent greed for something that doesn’t actually belong to us. The governance of the Third Pole, as discussed in class, might be similar, but is also vastly different because of how international the area is. The glaciers and natural resources present are desirable and have fostered civilizations like the Indus. I love climate models and figures because of how much data and information is packed into them, but I also recognize that they don’t tell the whole story, like how an artist or historian might portray it. Climate models shows a macroclimatic view, while stories are able to peer into the microclimatic.
