What a surprise, said no-one.

A new study found that even if we did have the infinite power to artificially cool enough of the oceans to weaken a hurricane, the benefits would be minimal, says Phys.org.
The study led by scientists at the University of Miami (UM) Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric and Earth Science showed that the energy alone that is needed to use intervention technology to weaken a hurricane before landfall makes it a highly inefficient solution to mitigate disasters.
“The main result from our study is that massive amounts of artificially cooled water would be needed for only a modest weakening in hurricane intensity before landfall,” said the study’s lead author James Hlywiak, a graduate of the UM Rosenstiel School.

This article is good example of how intellectually corrupt to current Grant System has become. The Article should have died at its first suggestion if honest scientists had been present at the time. No doubt a number of people will have been handsomely rewarded for all the stupid work that they did.
[incidentally: Hurricanes are nature’s way of cooling the oceans should they approach the maximum 30degC dictated by the thermodynamics of water. Could someone please explain that to these so called scientists?]

Excellent comment! Thank you.
Willis has done an excellent job educating many (especially us at Climate Collections) on the tropics’ 30C convection flash point.
