An Italian court has convicted seven experts of manslaughter for failing to adequately warn residents about the risk of an earthquake before hit in 2009, killing more than 300 people. The verdict has shocked the scientific community. (Oct. 23)

Perhaps they should have been following those solar flares not.
This judgment is amazing.

Yes, the judgement is shocking for multiple reasons. Even those who were predicting mega quakes in the US last year where nothing happened were vilified. Nature has its own timetable and much of it is not scheduled on anyone's individual calendar.

Ive just heard that given the failures of the prosecuted scientists, the Italian authorities have employed Cliff High, Patrick Geryl and a variety of other pseudo scientists, chanelers and other cranks to accurately predict future earthquakes thereby ensuring the safety of the local citizens from any such random events in the future.

That's pretty good Tom. I've not seen the Holy Facepalm before.

Jail Italian scientists over L'Aquila and what's next? Suing Michael Fish?
Sending scientists to prison for misstating earthquake risk is not a great way to encourage others to take responsibility in future

Michael fish was a weatherman btw
Lock em up and throw away the key
We need more cranks and pseudos

Punishing scientists for not predicting what is today unpredictable . So from recent data of high earthquake activity scientists should predict a BIG Event . Only lunatic lawyers could arrive at the guilty verdict .
The corrupt politicians that run Italy will never find a single qualified person to venture an opinion on Earthquakes .
