I'm not sure people didn't know that forest fires did that. For hundreds of years aboriginal people used fires to manage the land. The idea that we can "control nature" (born of the scientific advances of the Victorians) convinced people that we could build near/in forests that would traditionally get swept by fire every 30 years or so. It's quite arrogant that we still build there! While this does fall into the mad category I'm all up for a little mad thinking if it generates new ideas. The oceans are a great resource that we barely understand.
