If we were more powerful than nature we'd be able to prevent climate change. We aren't hence the reason we're stuck with the mess.

But do you also say as much for smog? It's just weather? It's a very visible instance of us affecting, at least at a local level, the environment.

The precedent of stucking in mess is something that lacks debate with insight. Less emotion and politics, please. Climate is changing, sure. But faith in our ability to change it (same as that is our responsibility) is still faith. Collective guilt do harm more, history proofs that. And it happens over and over (how many people will suffer just because of "green politics?").

Volcanoes spewing smog here and there. It's nature.
