We all should be grateful to the good folks at the #USGeologicalSurvey who push back on wild claims about volcanoes and volcanic risk, including those involving a future Canary Islands "mega" #tsunami that will destroy the U.S. East Coast, a hypothesis that "does not hold up to rigorous examination." https://www.usgs.gov/observatories/hvo/news/volcano-watch-canary-islands-mega-tsunami-hypothesis-and-why-it-doesnt-carry
On entend svt dire que les astronautes reviennent écologistes après un séjour ds l'espace. Ce n'est pas tjr vrai.
Voici le cas de #JamesReilly. Géologue & astronaute, il a été nommé par Trump directeur de la #USGeologicalSurvey & a ordonné a ses équipes de n'utiliser que des modèles climatiques à horizon 2040, au lieu des modèles 2100. Ce qui revient à biaiser les résultats scientifiques produits pr faire passer une politique climatosceptique.
