In the source of “History and Humans/rest of nature”, it’s been said that humans respond to change and in turn feed the climate.…

Additionally, in response to detractors of these techniques, she primarily refers to two reasons why less conventional methods need to be utilized. First, Marris explains that these new ideas are already a given new reality.…
