To what extent do environmental hazards stem from unpredictable nature and to what extent do they originate from human actions?
For most of human history, nature has been the most important source of environmental hazards, but in recent years human action has been overtaking nature as the greatest source of environmental hazard. With the recent disaster in Japan, we have some of each. Nature caused the earthquake, but human beings built the nuclear power plants which when damaged by the tsunami caused by the earthquake, are now a huge environmental hazard.
