If we stretch the meaning of natural to include global warming then everything becomes natural and the distinction of man-made vs natural becomes meaningless. There’s a very important distinction and it’s between things we nominally have control over and things we have little/no control over like industrial pollution vs solar output cycles. It’s also a question of intentionality we choose to continue using (even trying to encourage in the case of some groups) the use of heavily polluting power sources like coal. Also in response to the dinosaur example I think if they had done something like that we would speak about them very differently. I think there’s a level where when a species starts making large scale changes to their own environment that things go from being the product purely of nature to being the fault and responsibility of whatever species does it. That line is partially drawn by scale and partially by intentionality/sapience where the species can decide about what they’re doing and choose other paths.
