  I think climate change is a massive problem for our planet and one that we need to address urgently. At the moment, I do think that climate change poses the biggest threat to the Earth but I hope that we, as a collective, will react and improve the situation.

  Right now, definitely! But climate change is a problem caused by humans, and our greed and selfishness; which unfortunately makes us the most harmful thing.

  It completely depends! The Earth will happily survive climate change – it’s been through much worse (the asteroid which killed the dinosaurs is one example!). However, talking about the most harmful thing to harm life on Earth is very different, and it is definitely one of the most dangerous things that will hurt all the life on this planet. We all need to help in our own ways to stop this!

  It might very well be. We must, however, not forget about polution, that threatens life of many species but does not necessarily change the climate. Also, man-made physical barriers in nature (such as highways, dumps, etc.) disrupt the natural way the nutrients, water and eventually organisms move, which can have severe implications for the ecosystems.
