How much carbon was released by the wildfires that used to happen on our continent?

There are legitimate issues with how we treat the environment. The problem is the statist movement co-opted the green movement, and use it as an excuse to initiate class warfare.

Almost all of the increase in atmospheric carbon in the last 200 years can be accounted for by the loss of carbon from farming monoculture grains causing desertification.

Regenerative livestock farming can solve the problem by increasing soil carbon.

Laymans terms please

Along the same lines, a single volcano eruption releases more CFCs than humans have ever created, yet environmental activists told us CFCs in aerosol spray cans were going to destroy the earth.

So we got rid of aerosols by and large, based on this junk science.

Think back to your basic biology: Plants need CO2 for photosynthesis to work. They absorb it into their roots.

Grasses that are allowed to grow high and then be grazed by livestock end up sloughing off their roots when the grass is eaten. Those sloughed off roots then convert to soil carbon as they die and disintegrate.

The proper management includes allowing grazing them with cattle, because if a grass is allowed to remain high and die of old age, other grasses below them cannot get enough sun to germinate properly.

Before we started plowing the Great Plains for corn and wheat, the annual migration grazing of Bison built very deep, carbon rich top soil. Some estimates say we have essentially stripped off 9-12 feet of topsoil in the last 125 years. This has resulted in a large release of that soil carbon into the atmosphere.
