If a hurricane is aborted at the embryo stage, then all that potential energy in the water, which fuels the hurricane, is never consumed and dissipated by the hurricane.
I think if we tried this, we'd find the oceans to heat up at an even more extreme rate, and create spontaneous weather events that we are unable to prepare and defend against.
Seriously. This is another example of robbing Dick to pay Harry.
These storms are getting stronger because of climate change and messing with the environment. Let's mess with it some more!
yeah but where will that energy go??
the issue with global warming is the planet retaining heat it otherwise would not... added hurricanes seem to be a symptom of this extra energy. if its not burned off by running a big ol' hurricane, what happens?
This seems like it will have horrible unforseen consequences
Next geo-engineering proposal: suck all that extra energy into space. Just skim a little off the top, maybe we’ll get some of those greenhouse gases out of here while we’re at it. There’s a lot of atmosphere out there, ok. We’re in an abundance economy with the atmosphere. We could probably stand to lose a little if I’m being honest. I ran the numbers through my bespoke AI, AImosphere, and it really liked the idea.
