Fire is a key physical process on earth, one that humans alone have
worked out how to partly control. The power to use fire has
transformed human societies and propelled us to the role of the
dominant species in the biosphere. Now as the products of the
combustion of fossil fuels are accumulating in the atmosphere the
climate is changing rapidly. Simon Dalby argues that humanity’s
success in using fire has radically changed our circumstances, and
unless we work out how to constrain this firepower soon, our
success with combustion threatens to undo what we have created. The
current challenge is to make a new economy for life after fossil
fuels if a liveable earth is to be made available for future
generations.
