Sadly misplaced priorities. This comes not long after an asbestos factory owner got 20 years. On the other hand, some Red Brigades terrorists got just 20 to 25 years. Another notorious bank robber and killer from the 1970s, Renato Vallanzasca, is out on a work furlough program.
I just hope THEY realize the consequences of such verdict.
WOW Imagine how they would treat Christ if he walked into the middle of that!
The science community has the gall to have spent the past twenty five years pronouncing on global warming with final authority so why should they get away with not being able to predict earthquakes?
And the captain that sunk the cruise ship is suing for his job back. Welcome to Italy!
And they rebuilt in the exact same location as the earthquake. I’ll save them the trouble. There will be another earthquake in the exact same place in the next 100 years.
Do they convict weather forecasters for not predicting storms? It rained and spoiled my picnic. You go to jail. Sorry. The warnings or lack of them are on a “use at your own risk” basis.
Do they convict forecasters for a warning that does not materialize? Do they get a suspended sentence?
All earthquake scientists should go on strike and refuse to say anything until these idiotic convictions are rescinded.
It’s not really that twisted. If “scientists” insist on taking control of our lives and fortunes based on their prognostications on issues such as “Global Warming”, then they better be prepared to take the heat when they are wrong!?

Scientists want to be the West’s secular all knowing gods...so here it is, god, fix everything.
Pretending to be the know-it-all gods in life, may not be such a great idea. Remove socialism and atheist (Marxism) activism from science. Go back to being mere mortals who don’t know everything about everything.
Of course they won’t persecute the anti-DDT scientists for genocide either.
From the nation that brought you Gallileo...
Quite peculiar.....
This is close to the old witch burnings IMO.
Justice would mean charging climatologist and ecologists with murder. Seismologists, not so much.
Is this a joke?
Not to worry, next big quake, they’ll be free.. It won’t be their fault the prison walls crumble. Italian courts will then try the providers of the concrete that built the walls and send them to prison too.
Well, this is good news...
Now, all the “experts” and “scientists” can be accountable for all their claims, no matter how wild, silly, or unfounded in true science they really are.
Anyone over about 40 can now sue for the second coming of the ice age...that never happened.
Show of hands: Who wants to serve on the next Grand Commission?
The level of stupid here is just staggering! Now, we’ll have scientists predicting Earthquakes almost daily, whether they truly believe one is going to occur, or not.....
