That is a very, very good question.

Humans are having a dramatic affect on the planet earth's ecosystem, and there is a tendency to regard that affect as unnatural.

However we must not forget that humanity is a product of the planet earth's ecosystem and therefore one could argue that the effect we are having is natural.

I am not sure how far this argument gets you, the fact is that we are endowed with high intelligence, we can foresee the results of our actions and we can foresee that what we are doing to the planet earth's ecosystem will probably lead to our own extinction - [But just a minute, didn't I just say we had high intelligence ;-( ]!!!!
