-
The interaction of the Earth's atmosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere, responsible for the climate.
The climate system is a part and the atmosphere another part of this. The earth's climate system provides a habitable zone. I agree with scientists who argue that human beings as a part of nature have altered the “natural system” to such an extent that we are now unable to reverse the present system back to a preindustrial or even prehuman state.
