 Flippant non-response .  The density of humanity on the planet
 wasn't great enough to have any global effects .


>=A0Yeah, I know that many are sparked naturally. =A0What I'm talking=
 about
>=A0when i say 'take over all of nature's functions' is this: For
>=A0hundreds of years, those wildfires would burn through the=
 underbush,
>=A0cleaning the area semi-anually, but there wasn't enough=
 underbrush to
>=A0get the fires hot enough to kill the trees. =A0Then came man, and=
 we

 when
>=A0there is a fire, the earth is scorched and charred, instead of
>=A0renewed. =A0So now, we have to go and either burn the underbrush=
 semi-

 working

 Factually wrong . These enormous fires did happen before man=
 started
 tending forests and happen where man hasn't done anything ever=
 .

>=A0It's only a matter of time until
>=A0we just take over completely because nature can't funtion with=
 us
>=A0around, or without us around. 

 Yep .
