After this recent tornado scare, I've gotta say I'm starting to think about focusing my job search on places that don't deal with them. What cities are least at risk of a natural disaster (tornadoes, earthquakes, and hurricanes)? I looked up a couple lists online, but they were both largely biased and inconsistent, so I figured I'd get some opinions around here.
Frankfurt Germany is in an area with no natural disaster risk.
Are you suggesting we'll have technology in the future that will completely control Earth's weather?
Unless we can also control the rotation of the Earth and its revolution around the sun...there won't be any control of the weather.
Nor should we ever TRY to do such a thing. Isn't there enough worry about global warming and climate change as it is? Last thing man should do is try to finger this planet even worse than he already has.
