More taxpayer money going up in smoke, literally. 🙄

Kai Thompson2026-06-22T20:38:56.000Z

ffs, always someone turning science into a political rant. Chill out and learn something for once.

Always wanted to visit Vanuatu to see this stuff live. This article got me hyped for my geology paper next sem.

yourself to Ambae then. Volcanic tourism, you'll love it 😂

Morgan Lee2026-06-22T20:17:56.000Z

Couldn't even pronounce that island name. Hope the scientists are safe though

Riley Scott2026-06-22T20:25:56.000Z

Yeah nah, I'll stick to analysing my toast in the morning. Least it doesn't blow its top.

Just what we need, more government-funded rock sniffers. Meanwhile roads in my town are cactus.

Volcanoes are fascinating but like, who's paying for this? Vanuatu or us?

Aria Wilson2026-06-22T21:41:56.000Z

my thoughts. Everyone complains until a volcano erupts then it's sudden interest.

Good on them for studying it. Better than being caught off guard. We're all in the Pacific together.

Chloe Martin2026-06-22T21:39:56.000Z

please, 'Pacific together' - more like 'Pacific debt'. Classic feel-good comment.

All this fancy ash analysis and we still can't predict the weather properly.

Morgan Lee2026-06-22T22:37:56.000Z

ash from a volcano can ground flights for weeks. That's why they study it. Use your brain.
