I'll make an assumption here that is, the oil fires if extinguished would leave something of immense value behind for resources companies to extract? That might be why effort and money was spent on extinguishing them. Why else would the Iraqis set them on fire, so people couldn't have them? I'm not saying the engineers did a bad job, at all. It sounds like they worked miracles, but the issue with climate change is that the global money distributers and politicians want engineers to stop people from solving this problem. they just don't seem to care. There is no consent given for the right people to fix it. Solving the problem in this case using common sense and reasoning, just means you're stepping on self-interested, highly deluded people's toes. The real problem that needs solving first is the baking and political systems. People problems. Common folk seem to want the issue resolved but have taken the failed stance of being a single entity who can't make a difference, without realising they're everything, the way they vote, travel, eat and consume all are part of the solution. We're all feeding the machine. The consumption levels in the world are just out of control, I wonder how we have gotten this far. Even today in Rome I was looking at the millions of cigarette butts on he ground, a storm was forecast and I just felt sorry for Mother Earth, she needs rain to provide for us but when it happens, she is rewarded with toxic rubbish ending up in the oceans. She has provided us with everything and that's what we give back. By the way I think you're right, if the problem was one of pure engineering, science and reasoning, we wouldn't have a problem. In that sense there is a positive side. What is wrong with us?

Yeah, they lit oil wells -- petroleum. And after the fires were extingushed, sometimes with large amounts of water, the water- and ash-covered desert bloomed like no one could remember in at least twenty years. This did not make the news. It was a footnote in stories with more drama and human interest. The rich people failing to do something effective about this are fools. They are like the hyenas in "The Lion King" destroying the landscape -- the very source of their wealth. Without abundance, wealth dies. I blog about varying topics -- homelessness, managing health issues without drugs, etc -- topics to empower ordinary people to solve their problems with minimal resources. There isn't much money it and a lot of people are openly dismissive of me. But not doing it scares me more. No one seems to be effectively addressing these problems. I would be thrilled if you would check out some of my writing and Tweet it or otherwise share it.
