They almost literally BEG for a ‘big one’ so that they can capitalize on the recovery...all the while doing absolutely NOTHING to prepare and ensure public safety in its aftermath.
Speaks volumes (the latter).
They (the ‘scientists’) can’t even nail down the cause of the ~500 AD event which dramatically affected climate for over a year in the northern hemisphere (likely Kamchatka).
A repeat of such a volcanic event is much more likely and will certainly kill hundreds of millions from its effects (starvation, societal collapse, etc.).
Most of the “experts” you see on the doom porn shows about these events rely almost entirely on government grants to further their studies so they have a financial interest in keeping the “problem” at the forefront.
With that said, I do think studying these types of actions is a worthy project with an eye towards disaster planning and early detection. I think all of us can agree it would be a horrific event with casualties and destruction beyond comprehension.
I agree with you about volcanic activity. The “Ring of Fire” has tremendous potential to cause catastrophe far beyond the actual eruption.
