Loading ...This morning’s newspaper devoted several pages to more ‘doom porn’ coming from AP about how the Hawaii volcano has raised volcano fears on the west coast and around the ‘ring of fire’…. which AP says includes Hawaii. NOT TRUE. Hawaii is in the middle…. not part of the ‘ring’. And Hawaii is NOT a subduction volcano like the rest of the west coast and the ‘ring.
They are volcanos, but they are very different… like comparing apples and oranges. Hawaii is a shield volcano… much more tame than a subduction volcano. Yet the news merrily marches on with the ‘explosions’ narrative. And the West coast is no more… or less… at risk than it was before the Hawaii eruption. Sheesh. Doom Porn.
