I remember the threat of a volcano in downtown LA. Tommy Lee Jones did a good job diverting the lava flow into the LA river.
Oh, that was fiction, wasn't it?
Just like global warming and just like this new 'threat'.
Oh, please. Volcanoes have been around for a long time and if you live near one you should figure out that you need to pay attention. I live in a flood zone and I pay attention. Same thing.
Yes, that's the point. Geological "weather" occurs underground. If you live in a flood zone, then the meteorologists can tell you with advance warning if conditions are good for a damaging flood, but the citizen ultimately decides what steps to take. (Not necessarily a flash flood, but "normal" floods requires a few days to weeks of heavy rain, plus high watershed conditions, etc.).
What the proposal is asking for is a similar ability for geologists/volcanologists.
