Re: Hurricanes provide a needed function

Quote:

Saw on TWC that hurricanes are like global air conditioners - taking heat from the tropics and drawing it up into the polar regions. True?

If so we wouldn't want to find a way to reduce their intensity so much as a way to try to steer them. That's probably not possible given we're talking about forces on a global scale - right?




They are very much so needed. They clean the environment. They bring new life by carrying seeds in its winds and waves. They, by the upwelling from the energy being sucked up, essentially recycle the old water and bring the new, cleaner water from the deeps. Hurricanes should never be attempted to weaken because of the sheer environmental affects it could cause.
