Title: How to Stop Hurrycane Dorian
Post by: MechAg94 on September 03, 2019, 02:39:59 PM
Link to a video on twitter.

Alternate youtube link that has a little more.

I am not sure where to start.  I think a lot of people just don't understand things they can't see.

How much ice would it take to significantly cool the water area ahead of or around a hurricane.

How much would they scream if we broke off icebergs from Greenland and dragged them south?

I thought we were worried about the sea level rising because the glaciers (and icebergs) are melting. Now they WANT to melt icebergs in the path of hurricanes?

They need to make up their [alleged] minds.

In your mind, which "they" does the gentleman in the video represent?

Just curious.

I'm reminded of those well meaning folks who want to save the earth by giving up their refrigerators, and go out to by ice from the store.

Which gentleman? The guy in the Hawaiian shirt, or the guy from Stevens Institute of Technology? I had in mind the guy in the shirt, and whoever was behind the graphic of towing icebergs into the path of hurricanes.

Just drop a few plane loads of angry feminists into the storm.  That would cool of the hurrycane in short order. :old:

The guy in the Hawaiian shirt is the one in the Twitter video.  I didn't quite realize the youtube video had all that extra stuff until I already posted it.

It'd be easier to just divert the Gulf Stream and let the cold water of the North Atlantic do the work as opposed to getting enough Ice to do the job.

If only there were some kind of heat engine that would pull heat from the oceans and transport it to the upper atmosphere to be radiated into space ...

That engine's radiator would have to be painted black.

You seemed to be implying that the same people who worry about cataclysmic global warming were the people suggesting to tow ice bergs into the path of hurricanes.  I was just wondering where you were making that connection, because I doubt Hawaiian shirt guy speaks for the global warming establishment.

Y'know, I went back in and inserted the word "painted" just to avoid such baseless and unfair allegations.

So now I guess we have to go back through all the literature regarding emissivity of "black bodies" and change everything to read "perfect emitter or receiver of radiation" or some such to satisfy the scientists and the antifa fools all at the same time.

A tough job.  Especially since the antifa fools never seem to be satisfied with anything.
