In his article Don't Just Do Something, Sit There! Global Warming and Ideology Timothy Morton questions the dicothomy between nature and nurture. He says that this divide is not possible to make, and neither can we divide between human and animal. 

“When you think about ecology, your world becomes much larger and therefore more groundless. Yet it also becomes much more intimate. We've got others—rather, they have us—literally under our skin.” (Timothy Morton)

We share 98% DNA with chimps and 35% with daffodils. We have arms and legs like lobsters and cells, just like the amoebae. Darwin actually proved that distinguishing one species from another is strictly impossible. Humans as well as animals are ecological coexistences; strange strangers, as Morton calls them.

“I can't in good faith use the word animal anymore, and “nonhumans” won't work either—we are strange strangers too.” (Timothy Morton)

How does this breaking down the borders between nature and nurture affect our discussion about climate change? Where does this melting together of human and animal leaves us in the question of climate change? How can we talk about human-made or nature-caused catastrophes? How can we say, that we humans have to save nature? Does this free us from our responsibility? Or does it force us to take another approach in the questions about climate change?

“The more we know about strange strangers, the stranger they become. Are they alive? What is life? Are they intelligent? What is intelligence? Are they people? Are we people?” (Timothy Morton)
