First, the correct term is climate change—in that billions of people and their machines can change the delicate balance of global climate when many of those machines release climate-affecting gasses due to a byproduct of their function.

Even a small amount of unnatural byproduct from one machine will snowball into a huge amount when multiplied by billions and repeated every day, year after year.

I’m sure there was a point where the combined negative byproducts of our inventions was not enough to tip the balance of global climate. As human population has grown, the byproducts of our actions have continued to grow at an increasing rate. At some point, as the production of byproducts accelerates exponentially, it’s absolutely undeniable that we will eventually pass a line where our actions affect the healthy balance of our natural world.

The argument is not “is there a line” but rather “where is the line”. The answer is a mix of A) How much toxic byproduct do we produce as a species and B) How delicate is the balance of the natural global ecosystem.

Since our health remains far more dependent on the balance of nature (which provides oxygen, food, water, livable climate) than on the benefits of our poison-spewing machines, it seems more than reasonable to place a higher level of importance on protecting nature.

Second, there is something terribly wrong with all of your photos. I assume that some sort of overblown and unflattering filter has been applied. I don’t know if this was on purpose, possibly an artistic choice. From my perspective, it makes the pictures unviewable—which is sad, as I assume the originals are quite beautiful.
