Is the world ending? Global civilisation would be destroyed by an eruption, say volcanologists

It has been reported that two British volcanologists are worried that a volcanic eruption could destroy civilization.

It is imperative that the world be prepared for events that could disrupt supply chains and cause famine, as well as multi-billion dollar losses equivalent to those associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Michael Cassidy of the University of Birmingham and Lara Mani from the Centre for the Study of Existential Risk at the University of Cambridge are the two volcanologists. In a new paper published in the journal Nature on Wednesday, they outline the risks.

'In the next 100 years, there is a one-in-six chance that we will see a magnitude-7 eruption based on information gathered from ice cores,' said Mani in a press release.

The collapse of civilisations in the past has been caused by eruptions. The volcanologists complain that, despite.

The research that has been conducted, there has been very little investment into limiting the impact that an eruption of this magnitude might have on human society.

The explosivity index is used as a standard for determining everything, which has the maximum value at level 8. In the Canary Islands, the Tajogaite volcano on La Palma was recorded as having an explosivity index of 3.

The Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajokull recorded a 4 in April 2010, which led to thousands of flights in Europe being cancelled.

Underwater volcano Hunga Tonga attained a level of 5, high enough to devastate Pompeii like Vesuvius did.

As volcanologists point out, there is a significant lack of funding and global coordination when it comes to monitoring volcanoes, and they warn that we are completely underestimating the potential threat that a volcano could pose to the society we live in.
