View submission: There Is Nothing Natural
Firstly, this would mean that everything is unnatural—or at least everything on the surface of earth. What parts of the earth are wholly unaffected by the actions of humans? The answer: none. An easy way to see this is just to consider greenhouse gas emissions. Plausibly there’s nothing on earth that has not been affected even slightly by changes in climate.
Since we don't emit greenhouse gases with the intention to bring about climate change, I don't see why the suggested definition fails here.
There's nothing here!
