Title: Bill Gates controlling hurricanes
Post by: Bent-Winged Angel on November 24, 2010, 05:44:15 PM
 I heard about this a while ago.  Just rememered while reading Gleick's "Chaos" Bill Gates has an ambitious plan to prevent or lessen this type of damage by using barges to pump cold water from deep in the ocean to lower the surface temperature of the water in a hurricane's path, thus slowing down the destructive winds produced by the storms.

Anyway is this possible?  What about ramifications?

I would have to say that it's not nice to mess with mother nature!  Ramifications could be biblical!
