Apart from a high school qualification in geology, and a ride on the earthquake machine in the London Museum of Science, I am unqualified to make a prediction of when the west slope of the Cumbre Vieja is going to tumble into the sea. -g-

Try this multiple negative on for size: <But Option Two doesn't alter the underlying reality — that, if words have any meaning, Greece is insolvent, and given its rapidly aging population (100 grandparents have 42 grandchildren) is unlikely to be non-insolvent under any conceivable scenario, no matter how tightly German taxpayers are squeezed to pay for it. > jewishworldreview.com He simply means, "is likely to be insolvent under any conceivable scenario".

Mega tsunami is mega hyped baloney. Some valid criticisms here, the main one being only tsunamis originating from the Canarys pointed at Florida and the Eastern side of the USA are considered. That makes a telling logical argument that something is amiss. Also see "They say the block dropped 4 metres in 1949". Yes, 30k people living at the bottom of the slope would have noticed the sea level had gone up by 12 feet. lapalma-tsunami.com Science never has been a logical structured subject. amazon.com amazon.co.uk Are there star fish remains etc found on the tops of mountains from past tsunamis? The rumours I have heard say there is. The Lions Tigers and Hamster model does not really jibe with volcanoes imo. If Katla (on Iceland) blows, we know from it's recent small sisters eruption it is going to be a big deal. i.e. bad things can happen, even if your mind would like to logically banish them away. The link also says that LaPama volcanic activity is closely monitored. I don't know how "1949" translates into "almost dead" for volcanic activity. Well, that is something else is either true or not, and the media does not say much on the subject, except for perhaps a misleading story or two. Anyway, Il Hirtue is not La Pama, and it is shaking. The stories I have read say that it has never erupted for the last 2500 years and others say late 1700's. The Katla volcano on Iceland blew during the late 1700's too.
