Oxygen loves ripping the energy out of things. That's why we breathe so much of it. And as a side note, were we on a planet with a less volatile gas composition, "fire" wouldn't exist.
Or, if there were more Oxygen and less Nitrogen, fire would exist, and would in fact be everywhere as endless firestorms swept Earth's surface. Of course, that would just be if there were a lot more. If there were just a little more we would just have extremely spectacular and explosive fires.

Quote from: Thomas Paine
To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason, and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like administering medicine to the dead, or endeavoring to convert an atheist by scripture.

NASA found that one out a while ago.
