TLDR: the earth's free oxygen exists because over geologic time organisms transposed CO2 into free oxygen and the carbon in their bodies, some fraction of those got buried, rather than decomposing, leaving the O2 they produced behind.
Now we're digging them up and burning them.
We're not just burning the Amazon we're burning all the forests that ever were
