"Via unsupported assertions, he's blasting away centuries of accumulated scientific knowledge about whxt really triggers earthquakes and volcanoes, and he's ascribing causes to effects without evidence"

I wonder to is the more correct shaw or professor Mcguire? my money is on the professor. After all his professional assertions have to withstand peer review, shaw only has to attempt to bully browbeat and argue mudcat BS posters.

A little background:Mcguire was a member of the UK Government's Natural Hazard Working Group, established by Prime Minister Tony Blair following the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. In 2010 he was member of the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE), to address problems following the eruptions of Eyjafjallajökull. He contributed to the IPCC summary report on extreme weather and disasters (2011).

Seems you are outnumbered shaw by a few heavyweights.
They obviously think he has valid contributions to make. Now I would posit that he is a well educated scientist, not a poser who thinks he is!
