Climate change caused this so I don’t know that you can really call it natural. Unless you include things people do as natural (I tend to but that’s not how most people use the word.)
I always thought it was a little arrogant of us humans to assume if we created something, or cause something to happen, that it isn’t considered part of the natural world. Like, of course it is. As you said, anthills are natural, beaver dams are natural, so skyscrapers are just as natural as a bird’s nest.

I mean, humans are perfectly natural beings. Everything we do to cause climate change comes from natural sources.
Technically it’s natural. It’s just more accurate to say man-made.
That’s just semantics. If you go by that logic literally nothing in the universe isn’t natural meaning the word natural would have no meaning.
Right, and only would something be considered “artificial” if it was outside of our universe.
Yeah, I agree.
Honestly I think the word natural doesn’t mean anything. Is an anthill unnatural? If not, neither is a city or a computer.

Yeah, we like to pretend we’re separate from nature. Then we get surprised when our actions destroy our environment.
Yeah but climate change causes natural disasters.
