Reply #9: Interesting, but suppose the people who were lost in the hurricanes

[clydefrand]

lived near the shore and didn't know that the hurricane was brewing in the gulf. They had no high lands to run to. Ancient peoples were also victims of natural disasters because they had no warnings of impending dangers. So all is not man's fault from building homes near the water; unsafe homes in lands where earthquakes are liable to happen, etc. Those same victims in Pakistan would have been victims with any other structures, perhaps not so forceful as a building collapsing on them.

So what is the solution? No more buildings? We all live in quake proof caves? On highlands away from the ocean's wrath?

Probably just continue doing what we're doing and disasters will occur and not blame any one thing for them. That's just the way it is.
