Physics spreads across all branches of nature and as such its laws can virtually be applied to all aspects of life. Isaac Newton propounded three important laws of motion. This laws have been traditionally used for motion of bodies but in other aspects of life example: it can be used to study mans effect on climate.
I begin from the first law which states that all bodies remain in a state of rest until it acted upon by relevant forces. Putting climate in place of a body and the external relevant forces as our burning up of fossil fuel we see that we have disturbed the natural energy circle from a state of equilibrium causing a shift which brings adverse effects in form of natural disasters.
Considering the second law that states that the rate of change of momentum with time is directly proportional to the force applied in that direction. Applying this to climate we can see that the rate of climate change is proportional to the force (the rate at which fossil fuel is being burnt up on planet earth ) .
Considering the third law to every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction. This is self explained because our action is the burning up the fuel while the reaction is the vigorous climate change.
