Notes
Should meteorologists be held legally responsible for their forecasts? This date 2012, an Italian court convicted seven scientists of manslaughter (sentenced to six years in prison) for failing to issue a warning of the possibility of an earthquake after a series of small tremors struck the L’Aquila area of central Italy. Soon after, a 6.3-magnitude quake hit the town and killed 308 people. Of course, scientists worldwide decried the trial as an abuse of prosecutorial responsibility but it took place nevertheless and that bell can’t be unrung.
