    I guess so, i would think the only things with droughts are is you never really know how bad they will be. Since they are dependant on rainfall.

    read up on the causes of drought ...

    you will see that deforestation, over-farming, over-development are causes of drought ... not the only ones but can and have contributed and/or exascerbated the effects of drought ... consider the Gobi desert - a desert that is considered to be man-made ... a desert is essentially an environment that is in drought ...

    so ... my point is man CAN cause natural disasters ... our influence of nature is impactful and consequential ...
    But man is not the only cause of deforestation...
    You point should be thatman can CONTRIBUTE to some natural disasters.

    I just wanted to post some cool pictures of a Volcano.

    I have debated with polaris_x and I respect his/her opinion (which one is it BTW). Polais_x is a feisty one so watch out!!! :mrgreen: (notice I did the green smiley for you)
    Anything posted in this forum could lead to passionate debate. ;)

    i assume you mean that man is not the only cause of drought ... as man is the primary reason for deforestation ...

    in any case - i bolded for you where i indicated that man wasn't the only cause of drought ... i hope you would reconsider your viewpoint that man's actions can not contribute to natural disasters ...

    So far we have covered Droughts... What are the other natural disasters, especially the one that outputs more toxin than we ever could (ie volcanos)

    i would say volcanoes are least affected by man ... earthquakes not so much either although seismic activity can be influenced by drilling and mining operations ... as for floods - well, you'd have to believe in the science to understand man's contribution to flooding - but we already know where you stand on that ...

    so ... do you believe in the impacts volcanic ash can have in terms of weather and respiratory illnesses?

    Ya know I hate to see every environment thread turn into a "man-made climate change" debate, but for all you naysayers, back in the 80s we were given info that the hole in the ozone IS because of humans, and that's when aerosol cans were banned and then redesigned. So that's enough proof that YES, we do affect the atmosphere.
