A quote from Simon James, Heidegger and the Role of the Body in Environmental Ethics':

Many radical environmental thinkers proclaim that we are at a crucial point in our historical understanding of nature. To pass beyond our current period of environmental crisis, the story runs, we must relinquish the impoverished conceptions of nature bequeathed us by the western tradition for a richer, more spiritually satisfying account of the natural world and our place in it. Heidegger would agree with this general project. ...he maintains that the modern devastation of nature is the result of the predominance of our modern “technological” understanding of the world, which, in turn, he sees as the culmination of the western “metaphysical” tradition.

I concur with that interpretation of Heidegger. Heidegger is making an ecological critique of modernity.

Maybe the growing ferocity of hurricanes hitting the United States is probably caused by global warming? The increased intensity of these kinds of extreme storms is very likely to be due to global warming. Those who simply don't want to accept human activities can change climate, and are changing the climate, can be likened to the people who denied that smoking causes lung cancer.

James says that Heidegger associates technology with a distinctive sort of thinking, namely, calculative thinking, a thinking that “computes ever new, ever more promising and at the same time more economical possibilities. It is perhaps for this reason that Heidegger introduces his account of technology in terms of the extraction of energy: “The way of revealing that rules in modern technology is a challenging, which puts to nature the unreasonable demand that it supply energy which can be extracted and stored as such.” In this way, Heidegger links his account of technology with the devastation of nature. To see the natural world as a reservoir of standing reserve is to see it as something that can be challenged, set upon, in short, exploited.

James says that Heidegger’s technological world, in which nature can be exploited without limit, can be thought of as the metaphysical basis of a society that is, in a sense, unsustainable. I concur with that judgement. The implication is that we have lost our rootedness in the world.

James says that in his later writings on “dwelling” Heidegger presents an account of a wholesome “non-technological” understanding of the world.
