Does climate change happening in the present era can not be part of the natural evolution of the planet?
For example: ice age and the elimination of dinosaurs? ....
Perhaps this is also the removal of humans
And the emergence of other groups?
Dear Habib Chenary
Your question is a timely question,
More than ever, climate changes are dramatic and may have unforseen consequences on our planet. I do not think that they are a result of the natural evolution of the planet. They rather result from humans' actions. Note, for example, that in name of economical growth, countries all over the world, namely the so called developed countries, use and overuse of chemicals which represent a serious danger for the present and future generations. Use and overuse of chemicals is also inconsistent with the idea of sustainable development, nature's conservation, and humans' well- being. If we do not pay due attention to our, say, environmental behaviors, we risk destroying our planet and its several inhabitants. So, day day, every day, we should perform green behaviors, that is, behaviors that do not pollute air, water and land.
Best regards

Humans seem to be a very unique specie. Not only because it can changes climate of planet in historical century or so (and not in geological time).
It seems to be only one able to spread the life beyond the planet.

Dear Habib.
I was more than happy to know that you find it excellent my answer to your question.
Besr regards.
Orlando
thanks for your attention,
That answered my question. it was excellent.
Dear Habib Chenary
I agree with Orlando M Lourenço. Your question is an excellent question.
The important events you talk about all happened before humans were even on the planet. The changes we are witnessing now are mainly because of humans, and unless we make collective efforts to stop damaging our planet, we will make life on it much more difficult.
