Hard to believe...especially knowing how many forest fires there are each year in the Rocky Mountains alone.

Under those circumstances, nature has time to filter and clean itself. How often do major volcanic eruptions occur? The window for Forest Fires is only (usually) in the warmer months, as well.
We as people, though, pollute and produce CO2 gas, (and Methane) 24 hours a day, 7 days a week - particularily in places like India and China where they have massive amounts of oil and coal burning factories and plants, and have, at any given time, something like 400 million vehicles on the street. The gases that develop in our sewer systems are equally as bad.
That's a lot of constant pollution, and nature never gets a chance to recover and heal itself. It's constantly being challenged and barraged - and it's made even harder given the losses sustained to the Amazon rainforest.
