I immediately started wondering if the entire article was bogus when I read that. It reads like a paragraph in an article about about chemtrails. Made me question my previous firm belief that the island in question even exists…

Makes me question the OP. Hacked account or someone who promotes disinformation? It isn’t hard to find much better sources, so why use a trash source?

Ouch. Not at all the case. Stumbled upon this article and thought it was interesting. I fully agree with the opinions here that the author of the article writes some strange things as well, but still thought it was worth sharing..
A comment history that shows very brief activity nearly half a year ago, with regular activity occurring well over two and a half years go, doesn’t exactly inspire confidence that you’re the original owner of the account.
As others have pointed out there are certainly better sources for the same information.

My thinking was either the OP didn't read all of it (bad) or didn't find the tinfoil stuff shocking enough to completely disqualify the rest of the content from being worth reading (bad) or the OP simply agrees with the article author (bad).

The fourth alternative "Well the article was interesting and I didn't really think just one crazy tinfoil paragraph changes that" doesn't make any sense to me tbh.

I've the opinion that you don't have to 100% agree with an article to share it though. Can still have interesting parts. And the discussion about the article and the author (being right or wrong) itself can be insteresting as well!

But this link (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumbre_Vieja_tsunami_hazard) mentioned above, was maybe better source to share indeed.
