Green fire is real and does exist.

For those who think it does not -> copper chloride, when burned, makes a chemical reaction and what results is what we see as green fire.

Green fire is about 620 degrees Fahrenheit while a "regular" fire is about 600 to 850 degrees Fahrenheit.

Not quite I'm afraid. Nearly there though! The green colour of the flame is due to the copper within the compound, and you will find a similar effect if you heat a piece of the pure metal in a gas burner flame. The same is true for any element (though obviously some will burn) and the specificity of the wavelength of the emitted light for each element is the basis of spectrometry. This is used to analyse anything from small samples in the laboratory at a few hundred degrees K to stars (at millions of degrees K).

I doubt the term "green fire" has any scientific validity though. And is copper chloride inflammable?
