50. What to gain?
This may sound really off the wall, but suppose technology does exist to cause earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, typhoons, name the (natural) disaster. Would it then be a far stretch to imagine a power group using this technology to simulate Armageddon and thus place themselves in position of power, indefinitely, by using religion and superstition.

Todays technology would look like magic to people only a century and a half ago.

Sound like tinfoil hat? You bet, but then again why was Kucinich trying to get a space preservation act passed if some pretty exotic weaponry didn't exist today.
