Double, double toil and trouble: 2018 has
been predicted to bring an increased risk of natural disasters, especially
earthquakes and volcanoes, in some scientific circles.
Last year saw an unusually high number of
hurricanes reaching landfall, a huge volcanic eruption on Mount Agung
in Bali, and ongoing nervousness around quakes.
And while the evidence is far from conclusive,
some are predicting we can expect more, potentially much more, of the
same in the next twelve months.
But should we be dusting off our
how-to-survive-the-doomsday-manuals or are these so-called experts only blowing
smoke up our collective volcanic chimneys?
