imagine living in massive scale steel wool and you always have to stay in the Goldilocks zone of heat inbetween various glittering cascading megafires throughout the vast wad. you have to set up camp each night and hope the fires don't die before you wake, stranding you in a freezing oxidised desert

Idiocy.
Claiming more CO2 is good is dangerous nonsense.
CO² isn't just plant food, it's a planetary thermostat turned to FRY. The slight "greening" is already being erased by megafires and extreme heat. Excess carbon is turning to carbonic acid in oceans and killing the marine food chain.

Ok, but some controlled wildfires are better than more massive megafires.
They are natural and external processes require them regularly to occur.
