Advanced technology can be considered indistinguishable from nature, whereas nature is the opposite of technology. The natural environment is wild and untouched by humans, but climate change is affecting every part of the planet, regardless of where they are located.
There is an inherent conflict between technology and nature. In the past, it has been proven that such commodities are produced at the expense of the environment because they destroy ecological habitats in the process of their production. Moreover, the steel that it produces comes from mines, the lumber that it harvests from forests, the rare metals that it extracts from the ground, and the plastics that it burns from oil that is extracted from mines.

In what part of the novel are you speaking?
The house in "The Deserted House" is a metaphor for a dead body or dead person.
The poem opens with "life and thought have gone away" speaking of a person who has died and no longer has life or thoughts. It continues in Lines 1-3 describing the emptiness of the house, showing the stillness and emptiness of death.
In Line 4 "The house was builded of the earth, And shall fall again to ground." refers to a body being buried, similar to the common funeral phrase "from dust to dust"
Line 5 refers to the person in Heaven- "in a city glorious-- A great and distant city--have bought A mansion incorruptible." Incorruptible in this line means everlasting or unable to decay, showing that the person, (the "mansion") will stay there forever.
The poem ends with "Would they could have stayed with us!" in reference to the person who has died-wishing they had not "moved" to heaven and instead could have stayed alive.
