    If there is a durable increase in forest fire activity then the forests won’t be able to resequester what they held before because there will be less overall forest growth.

    Moreover, the timing matters here. Those years with more carbon in the atmosphere drive temperatures higher for some number of years in to the future. Even if they eventually come down, the climate is a highly path dependent system.
