Given there have always been hurricanes, perhaps even more and stronger than today’s, it seems a great thing that humans use energy and materials to mitigate devastation, today, and in a guaranteed way. Shouldn’t all people everywhere be doing the same, as much as they can?

And no, you can’t have both, to be fully effective either way…
