Canary / CRISIS VULCANO
Close to the "ridiculous", according Carracedo
The geologist believes "are missing a valuable scientific information"
"We are making an international ridicule." The statement summarizes the opinion of the geologist Juan Carlos Carracedo about treatment from the scientific point of view, and social, has been extended to the underwater eruption experiencing the island of El Hierro. At the outset, the expert believes, as he shared with ABC, that "we are losing valuable scientific information."
And that is not explained Carracedo-said-what "if they knew more than a month underwater eruption would not be prepared to have a research vessel." For this, recall that the "Ramon Margalef" Vigo will today, but will not Canarian waters up within a week. "For something so valuable information is lost," he said.
But criticism of the geologist are not there. In fact not enough to explain why the "ignorance" of "reliable parameters" on issues such as depth or distance from the eruption, which, in his opinion, "leads the authorities to take arbitrary actions" as the return home of the residents of La Restinga when, at best, "the danger is greater than when they were evicted."
"These scientists believe that a volcano is like a shark's out of the water with his mouth open, and this is not so." In addition, Carracedo regrets what he understood as a "closed shop" which is not letting involve other experts: "They are blocking the contributions of other scientists and information are handled as if it were a closed shop, when science is universal, "he recalls.
For the vulcanologist, the latest example of "nonsense" and "ridiculous" that surrounds the phenomenon are the hydrophones whose installation was announced yesterday. Not surprisingly Carracedo wonders why he does not carry these devices and 20 days on the island, for example. "Sharing information every day with colleagues from around the world, and Spanish as a scientist I am ashamed what is happening," he concluded.
