I think that humans have an effect on how the world works. We affect the environment so we must affect natural disasters. If we log all the trees, and then a mudslide, landslide happens which is a natural disaster, then we caused it.

I would say yes to a point but the impact of humans on the world of nature is small enough that it is difficult to analyze. As humans are part of the earths ecosystem, so we do have an effect on all of nature, including natural disasters. Having said this, I do not know of one case in which a natural disaster has been traced back to any one particular human activity except for climate changes in the earth caused by industrialization.

Certain natural disasters can be attributed to humans degrading the environment. Disasters such as floods and massive storms and hurricanes, as well as long spells of drought, can all be attributed to the damage that humans have done to the environment. Pollution and illegal logging are just a few of the activities that cause such disasters to happen.
Other natural disasters, however, are entirely dependent on the earth itself, such as volcanic explosions, earthquakes, and tsunamis.

Natural disaster does happen because of Human being .Like the chemicals used , pollution,testing bombs etc..which do cause natural disaster.Due to hole in ozone layer, world facing lot of changes from climatic condition ,health problem like skin cancer,one of the reason i read from the magazine that earthquake occurs due to mining..so there is no end...

ok if this is seriously a homework question and your doing this for school don't expect everyone to do all the work for you. This is purely an opinion question and then you support it by facts. So..
I think the world is/isn't contributing to natural disatsters happening because _____ clearly states that it's because of _____ thats the reason it's happening.
Just find some facts to support you hypothesis and you'll get it.
