    I live in Southern Germany and studied ecology in a town called Tübingen. One of my professors showed a world map in a lecture, and then overlaid all areas in danger of different natural catastrophies projected to become worse due to climate change.
    None of the layers overlapped Tübingen, and the last slide just said “stay safe, stay in Tübingen”.

    The following year there was a hailstorm where tennis-ball-sized hailstones smashed triple pane windows horizontally, through closed aluminum shutters, went through tiled roofs, injured several hundred people, and caused severe flooding, with billions in damages.
