Using 1N4148 As A Temperature Sensor

Can I know which component senses heat or acts as heat sensor in the following circuit? In the given diagram, it is said that the 1N4148 diode acts as the sensor. But basically it is a zener diode and I don't think that it is able to sense temperature shift. This circuit provides a working model but the sensor remains as a mystery for me. Can you please help it for me? Here is the datesheet of 1N4148: www.componentschip.com/.../62-1N4148-TP.pdf
