Low probability high impact events kill people equally as efficiently as high probablity high impact events.

I do believe his peers feel he has valid points to make.
Also most areas of the world are now creating seismic hazard maps and many of these hazards are not " earthquakes of any consequence occuring many kilometres under the surface, well away from surface influences."
I do believe our resident botanist/exteacher owes Bill Mcguire an apology, after all papers in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society can hardly be equated with the Daily Wail. Or perhaps in the world of the loony left, they can.
