Nature acts on the planet on a scale that dwarfs most human processes. We are small, we are fragile, and we are the ones at risk. One of its principal components, the hydrological cycle of the planet, for example, is a system of extraordinary complexity and power. The energy released over the course of a few days by a single hurricane is equivalent to that used by the entire world economy in a year. And that is a single storm. We, it seems, are the fragile creatures that have chosen to undermine the very foundation that keeps our home from collapsing. We are the unwitting victims of our own success. We need to quit overlooking the importance and power of nature and protect it with all the tools and earnestness of our capabilities.
