Exposition:
In Field Notes of Catastrophe by Elizabeth Kolbert, the most important focus of this book is to define the ecological ramifications of man-made global warming, which is defined through the various effects on differing species of life. In this context, the mosquitoes named the Wyeomyia smithii is presented as a victim of global warming, since it its habit is making it more difficult for the species to hibernate at certain times of the year. This ecological approach is then connected to the larger problem of global warming, and the …show more content…
The correlation between Field Notes of Catastrophe by Elizabeth Kolbert and Down the Asphalt Path by Clay McShane is the common issue of carbon emissions that threaten global warming. McShane’s analysis of the development of automobile-based transportation in the United states lays the foundation for the ecological problems that Kolbert describes in the effects of global warming. For instance, McShane provides evidence of the deliberate promotion of urbanization plans, which were meant to create superhighways to accommodate the automobile industry. This massive infrastructure development in the United states defines the increased production of automobiles that were produced for this purpose. In this capacity, the development of American highway system had a massive impact on the vast amount of cars that could be created for the American consumer. Historical the parkway planning of Frederick Law Olmsted laid the foundation for the automobile industry in the late 19th …show more content…
The scientific data related to vehicular carbon emissions ids a telltale sign of the dangers of air pollutants that effect the biological organisms of the planet. The continued development of highways and other travel options for automobile owners is part of a larger development of carbon emissions that has been accumulated throughout the 20th century. Kolbert defines the automotive aspects of carbon emissions that contribute to this massive pollution in the development of global
