 A very different kind of response involves recharacterizing at least some natural evils as moral evils. For instance, we might focus on ways in which human activity has set in motion the kinds of environmental, climatic, microbial, and biospheric changes that lead to “natural” disasters, pandemics, famines, and other empirical evils. Or, in a more religious context, we might seek to explain the suffering and misery caused by “nature” by appeal to sin, karmic law, or divine justice.
