Humankind, in it's arrogance has decided that it is outside the natural order of things. Time and again in geological history, one species has proliferated to the point of being capable of changing the entire ecosystem of the planet.
Indeed, that's how life as we know it evolved e.g. blue-green algae created the oxygen/nitrogen atmosphere required by all life forms, including us, today.
And that's not even counting non-biological events like asteroid/comet collisions, volcanoes, solar variances, and the like.
When we realize that we are part of the process, not the creators of it, we will have gone far towards understanding it.
