Expert forensic arborist . . . specializing in DEW . . . who looks at an area with almost no vegetation left and a few very tall trees in obviously burned condition . . . you know what? Nevermind.

A forest fire without a forest.

"Forensic Arborist" 😂 😃 😀 😉

Why are you posting disinformation designed to discredit people looking at the many, many genuine dodgy things about the Hawaiian response to the fires?

"Everyone look over there, it's a distraction!"

From the article:

He points out that the trees have had the moisture sucked out of them, much like a microwave oven does to a piece of bread.

Has he never actually put bread in the microwave? Jeez what a shithead. Microwaves don't suck moisture out of anything, let alone bread.

He makes note of the fact that the windows in the cars are all melted. That would be impossible for a wildfire, which burns at 1,447 degrees Fahrenheit. It would take a temperature of at least 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit to melt glass.

Glass changes to a soft, plastic state which loses structural integrity at just 500°C or 930°F, but even if the glass doesn't fully melt, windows usually break from the temperature difference.

Bushfires in Australia regularly reach or exceed the melting point of glass, with air temperatures of around 1600°C. A really bad Aussie bushfire will easily melt metal and glass. The flames themselves can be cooler than the surrounding air, as volatile gasses escaping vegetation combust in the air.

The radiant heat alone is sometimes enough to start fires tens of metres away from any flame.

Many of the cars are nowhere near any source of fuel that could burn at that temperature.

rolls eyes

Apart from the vehicle itself, which is full of plastic and leather and gasoline. What a dimwit.

Even gasoline would not burn at that temperature. A hydrocarbon fire in the atmosphere burns at a maximum temperature of 1,517°F; 825°C.

That's just a made-up bullshit non-fact. This clown is just making up shit and pretending to be an expert. He's so full of it that if they gave him an enema what's left of him could fit inside a match box.

Car fires reach 900°C, the average house fire can easily get to 1200°F. An ordinary wood fire can burn at 2000°F or 1090°C, and a propane gas BBQ gets to 3600°F and the flame from a butane gas lighter can exceed 4000°F in ideal conditions.
