Hi,
No, it does not, not at any temperature at which it is still a molecule.
Burning is defined as a chemical reaction releasing heat on combination with oxygen. Water does not do this, which is why firemen use it ;-]]
Water is a stable compound which requires an input of energy to split it into anything which will "burn". The usual misunderstanding is between water, which will not under any circumstances "burn", and hydrogen, which will.
This scam reappear at regular intervals whenever the crude oil price spikes.
