Bill McGuire (volcanologist)

[1] His main interests include volcano instability and lateral collapse, the nature and impact of global geophysical events and the effect of climate change on geological hazards.[6] McGuire lives in a geologically inactive area, Brassington in the Peak District,[citation needed] with his wife and two sons after many years in Hampton, Surrey.In his book, Waking the Giant,[8] he argues temperature change brought about by global warming could release pressure from melting ice caps (through post-glacial rebound) and trigger earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, as well as increased landslides resulting from heavier rainfall.[9] See Physical impacts of climate change McGuire is a Co-Director of the New Weather Institute,[10] a co-op and think-tank "created to accelerate the rapid transition to a fair economy that thrives within planetary boundaries".[13] In September 2023 McGuire appeared in British newspaper the i stating the economy and society would collapse by 2050 following riots due to lack of food, in part brought about by climate change.
