The Earth operates as a complex system. There is considerable interaction between the different components of this system (atmosphere, bodies of water, solid earth, and animal and plant life). Changes in one part of the system can be expected to impact all, or some of the others. The basic needs for survival by inhabitants of these components can change their ecosystem and tip the scales of balance among others. We explore how simple changes can have negative and positive consequences.
