As the eruption of the Cumbre Vieja volcano on the Spanish island of La Palma enters its 38th day, a politician from a neighboring island has raised the idea of dropping bombs on it to divert lava flows.

Laugh..they did it in Hawaii one time way back when.
And it think it worked.
It’s good to see that I’m not the only person who thinks that a good bombing solves just about every problem. 😎
Is the inferno big enough, to accommodate all the A holes that need to be dumped in it,
Oh Boy, let’s bomb the shit out of that Volcano, what could go wrong?
We are gonna try it the Aztec way with the vaxxes—sacrifice children to the Gods...
If the volcano gods demand a sacrifice, some names come to mind.
There’s been five or six major transcontinental glaciations including one or two Snowball Earth. We are currently in a glaciation period called the Quaternary (Defined as a period of cyclic continental glaciations !). The last glaciation commonly called the Ice Age ended roughly 15,000 - 20,000 years ago. We’ve been in a warm lull. Civilization happened yay us ! Don’t worry a glaciation will be coming. It’s just a matter of when. Tomorrow, next week, 200 years or in 5000 years it will be here.
Guess they ran out of virgins.
It worked on an episode of Gilligan’s Island (the professor made a bomb out of a large coconut.)
Si, este es la uno!
the idea of dropping bombs on it to divert lava flows.
Where does he want to divert the flows to? I suspect all sides of the volcano at the ocean have communities that would be impacted. Why would you want to impact another part of the island?
In watching this develop I have not understood why they have not built berms to divert the side flows into the already establish route to the sea.
This sounds like a job for Baldwins armorer..
Drop the bomb, create the mega-tsunami when bombed land slides into the ocean.
....something going wrong?
Maybe the Chinese will use it as target practice for a hypersonic space aliens reverse engineered nuke missile.
Tell the politician to hold up a big sign over his head in the middle and then dash out of the way at the last minute. See if he agrees. Can we send a Dem from DC over there?
Sheilah Jackson-Lee(D-TX) concurs.
Call Red Adair! He can bomb it. Failing that, nuke if from orbit.
Project Chariot was one of the projects that came out of Operation Plowshare. Guy must have been reading up on this stuff.
