evidence: Hawaii fires: Satellite images and maps show the destruction from Maui's deadly blaze [...] David Bowman, a fire scientist at the University of Tasmania, wrote recently the fires in Maui, like Australia's own Black Summer in 2019-2020, "were a terrifying glimpse of the intense fires we can expect as climate change worsens". NASA active fire data from August 8-10 shows the fire burnt through about 2,000 hectares in a number of different locations across Maui.
