Well, this definitely qualifies as a sign that things are out of control.

Interpret that comment as you see fit.

@Bar_Brian: “it could be just the kind of global control we need to start exerting if we ever want this rock named Earth to last long enough for us to make it off of her”

And you’re going where, exactly?

Gee, Wes, maybe you can reduce the human impact on the earth. All you need is a good sharp knife, but remember, Rippy the Razor says, “Down the street, not across the tracks.”

by quicker and enmass circulating the warmer surface water… pockets of cooler surfacewater may be seen… but stepping back and looking at a potential larger picture… the end result “could” be quicker warming of the body of water over all… making the issue worse.

Actually, if this works across all three fronts proposed in the article it could be just the kind of global control we need to start exerting if we ever want this rock named Earth to last long enough for us to make it off of her. It would be a different story if I didn’t believe plankton loss and coral death were largely our fault. As it stands, we need to do a lot of cleaning up after ourselves before we can really start moving forward. Until we as a species can look after our own back yard we will not possess the resources or the mentality required to become a space-faring society.

imo, the hurricane thing is really incidental in this case… like the cookie when your dog learns to sit…

ahh. how wonderfully egotistic of humankind. another plan to control mother nature. im sure that the cooling of the sea surface and the end to hurricanes wont have an effect on anything but the intended target! come on. how about a more sustainable approach.. like better levys.. or dare i say it… dont live on environmentally priceless wetlands.. especially ones that are prone to hurricanes and high water. the answer is sustainability. adapt to the needs of the environment and stop forcing the environment to adapt to the so called needs of humans.
