That is a really good/complex question! The earth is just a system of systems. We do have an effect on it. A lot of our problem is our contribution to trends that are already happening and disrupting them. It's basically always trends not single events/things. Life has always been a huge driver, and as we are so dominate we have an effect on the velocity of these big systems.

We have the choice to fight it or work with those systems, and we are learning. We are an amazing species.
