La Palma is indeed very interesting, but this kind of talk makes me take the author much less seriously than I would have otherwise.

Mmhmm. Nothing burnishes credibility like devoting column space to how they're out to get you.

Yup. Especially with the ending. The site may get zero funding, but whoever owns the Patreon account is getting a couple grand a month.

With that said, I think there's a valid point there. Even if the chances of a large tsunami hitting the east coast of NA are low (chance of having an eruption, chance of that eruption being large, and chance of that eruption causing 500km^3 of displaced earth), the amount of destruction it could cause should at least prompt some analysis as to what could be done to mitigate that damage. Especially since there are likely useful public works projects that could be done to mitigate damage from climate change anyway.

I checked a few other writing by the author and there is a lot of tin foil hat stuff.

The information was interesting (and terrifying). I could have done without the conspiracy theory drivel mixed in, though...

But I've heard about this threat before. It could cause massive damage. For historical reasons, an awful lot of the major US cities are on the eastern seaboard. (Of course, it could damage a lot more than just the US...)

If you did public works to protect against this, then they would help you against climate change. But if you did public works to protect against climate change, they would not protect against this, because this is maybe 3 times worse. (Nobody that I have ever heard is talking about an 80 foot sea level rise from climate change.)

You can get the real content without the commentary at https://www.volcanodiscovery.com/lapalma/sep2021seismic-cris...

Also see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumbre_Vieja_tsunami_hazard for a good summary of the risks.

I immediately started wondering if the entire article was bogus when I read that. It reads like a paragraph in an article about about chemtrails. Made me question my previous firm belief that the island in question even exists…
