Prepare nonetheless
If a storm were forecasted to hit your community, it would be wise to stock up on extra supplies, fill your bathtub, reinforce doors and windows as needed, and check on your neighbors to help them do the same.
What would be the wise response to an organization from far away, promising to prevent the storm from ever arriving, if only you give them your money and time? Believe them if you’d like, but prepare locally nonetheless. We should not let our desire for alternative outcomes blind us to reality as it is.
