Weather control is coming.

The date of its arrival is dependent upon our ability to use available resources and direct them towards solution of this major problem.

IT, in particularly Web 2.0 technology, now enables us to assemble a research and development team comprised of the entire world and dedicate this community to solving major world problems.

Bill Gates has always been a leader and his involvement in solving hurricanes reflects a trend.

Ah, the old “Weather Control” ploy!

For how many years, decades, and centuries has mankind been through such experiments? From Native American (Indian) rain dances right up through the HAARP project.

Oh, I wish him luck! Such an accomplishment WOULD be a boon to mankind. But I think, all in all, it will still amount to not much more than dancing around in circles and shaking rattles at the sky.

But who knows…perhaps this time something will come of it. Nothing is discovered by sitting back and saying, “It can’t be done.”

Of course trying to control the weather would be a little ballsy of us but we are human. We are here to push the boundaries. With the understanding that i know nothing about hurricanes except they gain speed/size over bodies of water I propose a giant dryer/dehumidifier to suck all the moisture from the beast so that it loses steam and is reduced to a tropical storm. Perhaps a giant pack of silica gel like the ones you get with shoes and pillows?

Hasn’t Mr. Gates ever seen the movie “The Butterfly Effect”? If you try to mess with the weather you end up running away from staff in a mental hospital so you can find video tape of your pregnant mom and go back to that time so you never existed in the first place. It’s insanity to even try!!!

Great idea, obviously.

BUT! even if he is able to implement it. Thats a bit much power for one person, me thinks!

I don’t know… I think that storms happen for a purpose and, by manipulating Nature’s behavior, we could be in trouble on the long run.

Besides, wouldn’t some sort of sophisticated tracking device that does more than what we have be more useful than try and tamper with the balance of nature?
