Act of nature Vs Acts of man

When something bad happens with weather or other unforeseen event we call it an act of god! but is that fair on god (personal I don't believe in god) but he does seem to get allot of bad press so for once I'll ask a question on his behalf if man can cause changes in the environment can we really blame god for this...

A strange thought crossed my mind the other day, global warming is a very popular subject at the moment but the thing that crossed my mind is they say that we are changing the environment if that is true can we blame god for freak weather?

Is it not also possible that we created this weather patten and if so would we ever admit to it knowing what that would mean to both insurance companies that its not an act of god and to us as a global people would have to say that OK maybe that tornado that ripped my house apart is just something I should expect for driving a car that has low fuel economy, or live with the fact that this means we might have kill all those around us by our actions, as it just as dangers as walking down the street and firing a gun with a blindfold on, I might hit no one or I might kill every one on the street you just can be sure.

So I looked up what an act of god is; Act of God or act of nature is a legal term for events outside of human control, such as sudden floods or other natural disasters, for which no one can be held responsible. This does not protect those who put others in danger of acts of God through negligence, such as an adult who instructs a group of children to stand under a tree to escape a lightning storm.

So if we can say that global warming can change a class one tornado into a class five or can be held responsible for sudden rain fall are we liable ?
