Siberian Plume Monitoring Halted: Scientists Warn of Catastrophic Risks

Concerns rise over the lack of monitoring of the Siberian plume, a geological phenomenon with the potential to cause widespread devastation. In 2023, the monitoring of this plume, a significant source of potential geological instability, was reportedly halted. This has raised concerns among scientists, who warn of the potential for catastrophic events. "We can only judge its condition by indirect signs now," says one expert, highlighting the lack of data. The absence of monitoring leaves the world vulnerable to unforeseen consequences. The situation underscores the need for increased international cooperation and scientific research to understand and mitigate the risks associated with such geological events. Further research and transparency are crucial to ensure global preparedness.
