In a healthy climate fires are perfectly natural, there's even such a thing as controlled/prescribed burns used to restore fertility. The issue is that climate change and negligency can fuck with the rythm. The 100 biggest companies made up for 71% of carbon emissions between 1988 and 2015 and now most of the world is setting up to go through the same process as we have in the west. If we don't make major changes regarding our consumerism culture before 2030 there will be catastrophic climate change.

[@BooksMusicMe17]

Yup - some Aboriginal Australians and Native Americans both did this, look up "cool burning." Regular burning on rotation stopped wildfires getting out of hand and restored fertility (especially important in Australia because they're such an old continent their natural soil fertility is super low because no volcanic activity).
