I don;t know if anyone here is aware that by far the worst forest fires ever truly directly caused by Humans Were set by humans long before the petroleum age.
It was set by the native north Americans literally to turn the american East cost Midwest from a forest covered land to open grass land or open forest with no undergrowth over a period of a thousand years. They intentionally set fire to literally millions of acres From New England to the Midwest EVERY Year for many centuries, starting around 4th century AD, and didn’t stop until small pox wiped out 95% of their population in the Two centuries between when the spanish arrived at the Caribbean and when English and French settlers arrived at the Mississippi.
There is increasing evidence their pyromaniacs activity had a major influence on world climate between 400s and 1500s.
