More silly conspiracist nonsense like this and I'll unsubscribe. The idea that 'space lasers' would be used to burn down a city is utterly ridiculous on its face.

My only point was that calling these wildfires is inaccurate and they should know better. That being said, you are going to want to unsubscribe right away. Because, if you actually think that we don't have x-ray and laser weaponry available for use at present, you are somewhere in the pre Raegan administration world.

I mean, I understand that was probably a much better time than now, but we have had this weaponry for a long time. and it is really the only way to explain fast moving fires that burn at above 2400+ f, which is what it takes to melt out automotive glass and alloy rims. Even more notable is the failure of the fires to burn the vegetation around said vehicles.

A natural wild fire will never exceed 1400 degrees. It is basic thermodynamics and the history of us having the weaponry is everywhere. Did you bother going to any of the links in this post. Here is one from the general accounting office and please keep in mind that for any new weapon system, there is usually a 20 year classified life span before they ever get onto GAO submitted reports.

When something is ridiculous on its face, it means you have not looked into it more than superficially, so your impression is more due to your ignorance than anything within the situation.

Suits me. Your loopy conspiracy theories are not worthy of following. Fires move that fast at that high heat all the time in California (where I live and have learned about such fires).

I can assure you that no natural wildfire contains materials capable of getting this hot. Temperatures above 2400 f are reserved to thermite reactions and similar. Please find me a tree, type of grass, or combination of flora capable of burning at those temperatures in the open air. This is rudimentary physics. Prove me wrong. I dare you. Should be simple enough.
