There have been some wildly ambitious schemes to knock the power out of hurricanes and cyclones over the years. Now, scientists believe they have come up with a way to successfully subdue these destructive storms, long before they have a chance to reach land.

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.

These storms are getting stronger because of climate change and messing with the environment. Let's mess with it some more!
