Human beings are part of the nature. In the dynamics of nature, we are also contributing as a part. We are changing the nature and the nature also forcing us to be changed. But which one is the first triggering factor?
Are we changing the climate, or the climate is changing us?
Is the question same as “Which came first, the chicken or the egg?”?
Both affect and change each other, but I think that firstly we change the climate.
Change in climate by Human activities is an indirect effect. As you said we are changing the nature which in turn nature forces us to change. It is obvious that deforestation leads to the destruction of plants that absorb harmful green house gases. Thus we humans are triggering the change in nature which in turn effecting us.
We, the human being have the ability and capability to changing the climate. We are doing it unintentionally. A time will reach that the climate will change our life style and behaviors.
I think 1st we change climate to cut the trees, destruct the natural habitats and fires on jungles. after that climate change eg. increase the temperature . Both things are depends on each other. Today, human activities are mainly responsible to change the climate on earth.
It goes both way. Climate influenced, is influencing and will influence us (physically, mentally, geologically, economically) as we do the same. But the impacts of our actions effect the climate. If we do not take measures for the climate change, mitigation and adaptation, the climate change will be bad and it will affect us
But if we manage to reduce the GHGs, cutting down trees and preserve biodiversity, we will be benifited.
Bad actions will bring bad consequences and good actions will bring good consequences
Dear Lukasz,
Sallaams. Interesting question, one which tried to face in my doctoral thesis (2017) and eventually a book "Micro-temperature change and urban built form" (2019). God willing, will send you data links to my work under another cover to keep the conversation going. Ebrahim
