Rather interesting news item..
LONDON, England, October 22, 2007 - Scientists have come up with a new theory on how to weaken hurricanes and steer them off course. The theory - tested using only computer simulations so far - is not intended to kill the hurricane but to weaken it slightly, cause it to veer in a different direction, which has potentially legal and social issues. "The social and legal issues are daunting. If a hurricane were coming towards Miami with the potential to cause damage and kill people, and we diverted it, another town or village hit by it would sue us. They'll say the hurricane is no longer an act of God, but that we caused it," Alamaro said." (Source)
