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?
I tend to agree with that. Looking at the dynamics of hurricanes, they also expel a lot of heat energy into the upper Troposphere and more northern latitudes. They certainly appear to be a balancing mechanism (climatologically speaking) on a global scale. I feel that it would be unwise to attempt to reduce their intensity. Like the saying, "It's not nice to fool Mother Nature."

When in doubt, take the word of the National Hurricane Center
