Certainly beats OneManBands funeral director from Milton Keynes exposing the Covid conspiracy.

The retired chap who helps look after my parents' garden also works as a pallbearer and has been run off his feet for the last year-and-a-half. In the early months of the pandemic he was having to cancel their gardening sometimes as he had too many funerals to go to.

Apparently he originally took the job with the undertakers because after a couple of years of service, he gets a staff discount

Dave Petley’s bio

Dave Petley is the Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Research and Innovation) at the University of Sheffield in the United Kingdom. His blog provides a commentary on landslide events occurring worldwide, including the landslides themselves, latest research, and conferences and meetings.

I was pointed to this blog by a tweet from Dr Jannine Krippner, a volcanologist and co-host of Popular Volcanics podcast that I’ve listened to for years.

So it depends on your definition of random.

So which random person on the Internet do we believe today?

Isn't Zero Hedge a crackpot site full of conspiracy nutters and Suity that regularly gets banned for spouting tulip?

You might think so, and if you look at the posters on here who have referenced it in the past, that might back up your opinion.

Isn't that next to the mountainside that is a whisker away from sliding into the Atlantic?

Climate change is going to kill everybody anyway. Once you realise we are already dead men walking, you stop worrying about some trivia like a few mega-tsunamis or global nuclear war, or a pandemic that kills 90% of the population.

You just worry about home insulation.

Yes, but maybe the last one was 99,999 years ago

• 2 Minutes: A 900 metres (3,000 ft) thick dome of water rises above the landslide.^[37]
• 5 Minutes: The dome collapses to a height of 500 metres (1,600 ft) as it advances by 50 kilometres (31 mi); additionally, wave valleys form.^[37]
• 10 Minutes: The landslide is now over. Waves reaching heights of 400–600 metres (1,300–2,000 ft) hit the three western Canary Islands.^[38]
• 15 Minutes-60 Minutes: 50–100 metres (160–330 ft) high waves hit Africa. A 500 kilometres (310 mi) wide train of waves advances across the Atlantic.^[38]
• 3–6 Hours: The waves hit South America and Newfoundland, reaching heights of 15–20 metres (49–66 ft) and 10 metres (33 ft), respectively. Spain and England are partially protected by La Palma, thus tsunami waves there only reach 5–7 metres (16–23 ft).^[38]
• 9 Hours: Waves 20–25 metres (66–82 ft) approach Florida; they are not expected to grow farther as they hit the coast.^[38]

I think it's way more likely that it will be a lot of small landslides none with that significant impact

3.5 is not a strong earthquake. I had 3.4 on 22 August 300km away north , a 3 on 27 August 300km south and a 3.3 on 1st Sep only 30km away. My farts are bigger.
