Those "scientists" should have a look at the historical record then, these fires are small in comparison to some previous fires. The 1974/75 fires burnt an estimated 115 million hectares.

Australia is 770 million hectares in total. You’re claiming 1/7 of the entire continent was burnt? That’s a lot of desert or nearly every populated area getting burnt out. I’m not convinced.
