Abstract
The representation of climate change in literature has a long history. The first available text of literature is the Epic of Gilgamesh, which tells the story of the Great Flood. In mythology and religious texts, the destruction of nature and calamities is associated with the concept of divine punishment. Climate disasters are of two types: one is nature-made and the other man-made. Our era is called the Anthropocene, an era which demonstrates how badly human actions have brought devastation to the nature. Regrettably, our economic and social systems are triggering the Earth’s climate system. Critics have described the literature’s serious response to increasing climate change as insufficient. The article explores the connection between the modern capitalist mindset and climate change. In Urdu and Global literature, three narratives have been discussed to identify natural and human-made climate changes: warming, cooling, and flooding. The paper calls for a shift in the traditional approach of criticism by underscoring the complexities of modern trends in climate literature.
