God could act on a more limited scale pinpointing events such as to influence human attitudes. However if it were known that these events were the acts of God - Free Will would be affected.
Thus the actions of God would necessarily have to be anonymous. As such God by virtue of enormous power could produce changes in the natural and human conditions. God could stop the rape of the rain forests by visiting tragedy on the settlers and developers, or any of this sort throughout the world. But it would be to no avail because they would only be replaced by ever more oblivious people in an unending stream, like the flood of the white people into the American Indian territories. God could give to them miracles anonymously such as high standards of living, invention and luxury. However they would only want ever more and more, are never satisfied and feel that they deserve even more yet, such that they cannot be bribed with goodness.
God by fire, flood, accident, disease or pestilence could stop humans from all manner of crime, but it would be a waste of time since they would never make the connection. God could intervene to prevent things like accidental nuclear war. But it would seem like with a million morons fooling around with nuclear, biological, genetically engineered weapons, fooling with the atmosphere, the engineering of microbes, bacteria, viruses, or plants and animals, God must be so very busy these days that how could anyone expect even that could prevent some accidental catastrophe. God could communicate symbolically through the happen-stance of events, but then only a a handful of observers would understand it.
