The very basic message/argument of this visualization is that maps render real climate change as an "abstract" process. The author also notes that she is developing this visualization through looking into the methods/methodologies of interactive map making so as to learn more about the forms of risk that are rendered visible while other forms are rendered invisible. Sharing data through similar maps may not open an affective space for an "outsider" but can be affective for "local people"; therefore, the question here is how an ethnographer may visualize local people's engagement with similar maps.
