We can move the soil from the top down and move it to sea, so the angle is no more moveable. We are able to move earth, look at opencast mines. We still have time enough to move the soil, but we have to proceed.

It’s not going to happen… however, i do wonder if a nuke would set it off : )

The recent tv programs regarding Cumbre Viejo (La Palma)now seem timely but in researching this story I found that virtually all the reports stem from the original research of Dr Simon Day, et al. They’re sticking to their worst case scenario but like global warming, there’s a lot of computer models, predictions, and best guesses accompanying their theory. There is at least one major site presenting comprehensive scientific evidence to dispute their findings. Of course this doesn’t mean it can’t or won’t happen, but it may be just as likely to occur from the cracks found offshore Virginia in the East Coast Continental Shelf, or from the trapped water found in the continental shelf off the coast of New Jersey, or from the volatile and explosive gas that lies beneath the entire continental shelf off the mid-Atlantic Coast. Then, of course, we have the same potential for the West Coast as well from similar slides, both above and below water. For those of you in the interior of the US we have the active mega-volcano that comprises most of Yellowstone National park– when it blows, two thirds of the Nation will be a wasteland and the final global repercussions from ash and volcanic winter could signal the final days of our species. Mother Earth is not a beneficient Mother- she demands sacrifice from all her children– and in that destruction there is always new creation. The present western civilization has had a short timeline to sing its own praises, and an even shorter memory. These national boundaries we sew flags for are really proverbial castles in the sand. If we could ever get beyond that place in our evolution– humanity might have a real chance at survival.

I don’t think it would make much difference. I prefer to live off the coast and just visit it every now and then. Something about living in the hills makes me feel a little more secure.

PS: I wouldn’t fret the Canary Island thing. Most speculation is that it won’t happen in the manner it takes to create a mega-tsunami.

The special, I have linked somewhere on this blog, was more about HOW a mega-tsunami could be formed than the likelihood of it actually happening that way. Most scientists now think that La Palma would crumble, like a million pebbles rolling into the water, than a sudden catastrophic collapse of the core of the island. A million pebbles falling into the water won’t cause a mega-tsunami.

I wouldn’t spend too much time worrying about it.

Time to buy up beach fron property in Indiana!

If the collapse will be caused by the water that is trapped inside the island being heated by the volcanic erruption… Why not get the water out of the island?

If we can drill and remove millions of gallons of oil from the ground, Why can’t we drill the island and either pump out the water? Or else drill the island so that the water can run out from gravity?

Hello,

Basically our problem is not the mega tsunami. Our basic
problem is the fear of death & the future of life. Therefore, how to live now as Jesus said. “I am the resurection and the life and whomever believe in me, even he died, he shall live forever” (John 11:25)

The Canary Islands belong to Spain, not the United States. Spain is a sovereign nation. We can’t go over there and move billions of tons of Spanish dirt and rock into the Spanish ocean. We don’t allow Spain to come here and move our dirt and rocks around. Why would they let us go there and move their dirt and rock?

What do you think is holding all the pressure inside the mountain? Those billions of tons of dirt and rock. If somebody goes there and removes too much dirt and rock, the pressure beneath the mountain will cause it to explode.

Tsunamis can be caused by landslides under the surface of the sea. Who’s going to remove all that dirt and rock?

We can’t control the more violent forces of nature. We can’t prevent hurricanes, tornadoes, or volcanoes. We can’t stop earthquakes or tsunamis. We can’t prevent volcanoes from causing landslides by removing the side of a mountain.

If you don’t want to be hit by a tsunami, don’t live by the coast of the ocean or the shore of a large lake. If you don’t want to be hit by a tornado, move into the mountains. If you don’t like volcanoes, stay out of Hawaii, Alaska, California, Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming. Wherever you go, please don’t move into the Rocky Mountains.
