Humans distort the carbon cycle.

Explanation:

Since the industrial revolution, humans have released large amounts of greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere through burning fossil fuels and biomass such as trees. This results in the movement of carbon from these carbon reserves (wood, oil, gas, etc.) into the atmosphere. This creates an unbalance of carbon on earth.
