You’d be wrong. Increased climate activity means an increase in lake-effect blizzards all across the Great Lakes region, including the majority of northern (ie: not the Ohio River basin) Ohio, as well as more storms backing themselves up on the Allegheny Mountains. And that’s without looking at the effects on local agriculture, Ohio’s ability to sustain its population without outside aid, the effects of large, sudden population grown on construction and what that would mean for local seismic activity (see: Taipei 101—it’s not just fracking that’s causing earthquakes!)… Is Ohio ‘safer’ in the short-term? Sure. In the long-term? No.
So no, that’s not planning for the worst, that’s putting your head in the sand.
