Excuse me but... HAHA-fucking-HA!!
But let's say the science is sound. You sprinkle tire dust on the hurricane and have orbiting satellites blast it with death rays from space to heat it up and weaken the hurricane. First of all, this death ray thing isnt cheap. Youll have to fund it using taxpayer money that can be better used elsewehere. Second of all, you think countries like China, or Russia, or some other aspiring superpower would say, 'Sure, go right ahead and place that microwave deathray machine in orbit'? Fat chance of that happening. The thing will lead to an arms race.
Not thought through, I must say. Entertaining, but it's bollocks.
Scientists a step closer to steering hurricanesSo says a breathless headline from UK's Telegraph newspaper. The science nerds say they can steer hurricanes away from major cities. Nice. Steer them into what? Minor cities? Look I think your enthusiasm is inspiring but a typhoon or hurricane is a very complex thing. Havent you heard of the Butterfly effect? You can't account for all aspects of a hurricane much less control it. Methinks youre confusing your computer models for real life.

yeah, use that dollars for mass teleportation devices so we can get rid of airlines, dammit!
